PONC Application- Waiakahi`ula- Attachment B <br /> afford these sites the protection and stewardship that accompanies PONC designation. <br /> A non-profit 501(c)3 is in the process of being developed with the mission of stewarding <br /> all cultural and historical sites within the ahupua`a of Waiakahi`ula. <br /> Both properties are currently overgrown with invasive plants and are in dire need <br /> of maintenance. One of our long-term projects is to partner with groups such as the <br /> Friends of The Park as well as the `Aha Lamaku `Oia`i`o to remove the invasives and <br /> instead implement the preservation measures that were prescribed in the 2013 Burial <br /> Treatment Plan. This includes establishing a 20 ft buffer of shallow-rooted native <br /> vegetation around the burial site. <br /> We would also like to work with Mala La`au Hawaii, who has been helping to <br /> bring more native Hawaii plants to Waiakahi`ula Beach Park, to do more of the same for <br /> these adjacent properties. We would also work with them for invasive species <br /> eradication. <br /> Lastly it is essential that a long-term preservation plan is developed for all the <br /> cultural sites on the properties and adjacent beach park. <br /> Figure 1: <br /> Woo-O'Brien & Gouker <br /> 2025 <br /> 3 <br />
