With the support of the County PONC program, grants <br /> received by Ho`omalu Ka`u (preceding steward) and Ala Kahakai Trail Association over the last <br /> seven years have facilitated community efforts to steward the property. Initial stewardship <br /> objectives focused on management of the pasture grass and removal of former ranch debris as <br /> the property could not be used or accessed due to the overgrowth. Proper maintenance of the <br /> grounds and trash removal over the past few years has allowed for full use of the property for <br /> educational and cultural purposes including the hosting of makahiki events and ceremonies. <br /> This year, our stewardship efforts will expand to include brush cutting along the hillside to <br /> reduce wildfire risk below the overhead utility lines. We intend to landscape the hillside with <br /> canoe plants and flowering lei plants as the brush is removed. <br /> FINAL 2026 Stewardship Grant Application,Page 4 of 13 <br /> 26-05 <br />
