Stewardship Grant Progress Report,Page 1 of 10
A. PROJECT OVERVIEW:
Maintain a heathy,safe,clean environment at the O'oma Shoreline. Re-establish the strand vegetation and native habitat as
recommended in the October 2014 Flora and Fauna Study conducted by Geometrician Associates LLC for the O'oma shoreline.
These native host plants will support endemic hylaeus bees as well as native birds. Educate the community and student
volunteers about the importance of responsible stewardship of natural and cultural resources by participating in the entire
process of growing native plants from seed to maturity.
B. PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
During this reporting period,we have succeeded in:
1. Clearing over 2 acres near the entrance to the O'oma shoreline of invasive Christmas Berry, Fountain Grass and Kiawe Trees.
This has enabled many native strand vegetation plants to re-establish colonies and thrive.
2. Installing Electric Wire Fencing to keep the local goat herd from eating the native plants.
3. Enhancing the demonstration garden at the entrance with plant identification signs. The native plants are now filling in the
area an reproducing new plants on their own.
4. Hosted school students and community groups for work days and tours averaging 2 X's a month.
D
C. PROJECT CHALLENGES
The goats remain a challenge and we are now working on more permanent fencing to surround the project area. Hand watering
the new out-planted areas has also become a challenge.We are working with Kohanaiki Shores to bring water to the area. This
will enable us to install drip irrigation and be more efficient.
D. FUTURE PLANS RELATING TO THE PROJECT
Many of the native plants that have been propagated in our Nursery and ready to go into the ground. Out-planting these natives
will be the focus of the remainder of the fiscal year. This will be done as soon as the new fence is installed and drip irrigation
system is functioning. Students and community volunteers will help plant and clear small weeds.
Install more permanent fencing solutions
Install drip irrigation

RECENTLY PLANTED NATIVES ARE THRIVING
By removing the invasive Christmas Berry and Fountain Grass, the native
plants are thriving and propagating themselves. We see the native pollinators,
(Hyleus Bees) returning and new vegetation coming up. We will continue
out-planting from our nursery and work to increase the successes. 12.23.23
