PROPOSAL AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION (Briefly describe the long-range goal(s) <br /> for the property and the objectives of your proposal for stewardship grant funding. See example <br /> in Instructions) <br /> What is the long-range goal or vision for the property? <br /> The long-range goals to remove invasive and to re-establish the strand vegetation and native <br /> habitat as recommended in the October 2014 Flora and Fauna Study conducted by Geometrician <br /> Associates LLC for the O'oma shoreline. These native host plants protect shoreline eco-systerms, <br /> support endemic hylaeus bees as well as native birds. Educate the community and student <br /> volunteers about the importance of responsible stewardship of natural and cultural resources by <br /> participating in the entire process of growing native plants from seed to maturity. <br /> Our vision is to expand on the cleared area, re-plant with native species and maintain <br /> approximately 6 acres of fenced in land. Half of that land area is already free of invasives, <br /> irrigation has been installed and plants in the ground are thriving. Our focus will be on <br /> maintenance and stewardship activities. <br /> FINAL 2026 Stewardship Grant Application,Page 3 of 13 <br /> 26-02 <br />
