MALAMA O PUNA PONC WAI`ELE INTERIM REPORT – Nov. 6, 2023- June 30, 2024
This report details most of the stewardship activities conducted by Malama O Puna at the
PONC property “Wai`ele” from FY contract initiation Nov. 6, 2023 to 6/30/24. As only 7 months
was provided to conduct 12 months of activities, we are requesting to continue to complete
activities that we can by Sept. 30, 2024. We have tried repeatedly to request meetings with the
PONC staff to discuss the issues, but have not been granted a meeting. We have
approximately $9,000 left in our budget to complete the proposed activities: 1) a Resource
Management report, 2) 2nd Marine Debris Clean-up, 3) periodic invasive species/LFA control, 4)
Steering Committee final report, and 5) SMA assessment.
(1) Archaeological Study:
Other activities identified in our FY 2023-24 contract that we cannot perform are a result of an
archaeological study that the County did not contract. Ahen applying in August 2022, MOP was
informed that the County would contract the archaeological study. That didn’t happen and
instead MOP was asked to include the archaeological study in their FY 2024-25 application
which we did.
MOP’s proposed activities associated with the archaeological study include work hours by
Steering Committee member, Keone Kalawe ($5,500), to assist the archaeological consultant
with that survey and to help develop curriculum to train youth in identifying and preserving
cultural sites. MOP also proposed signage and coordination of youth volunteers ($11,000) which
cannot proceed until the archaeological study and training curriculum are completed. Lastly, we
over-estimated the hours needed by the Steering Committee members to do their initial work on
an appropriate governing structure and will have a balance of $9,000 to roll over to the next
contract for their work. That totals $25,500 to be rolled over to the next contract which includes
the archaeological work as approved by the PONC Commission in Sept. 2023. MOP would also
like an answer from the County regarding whether they intend to do the land survey or should it
remain in the MOP FY 2024-25 application for us to complete that task. The quote may need to
be updated due to inflation.
(2a) Botanical Survey and Identification of Invasive
Plant Species
The goal to produce a comprehensive vegetation study—
complete with assessments of native and invasive plants
and maps—was completed, and the final version of the
study is attached.
Between 11/23 and 2/24, botanical specialists Jon
Rathbun and Will Stein set up their GIS system,
determined their transects, and conducted more than three
full field days of systematic observations. During this time,
in addition to the expected study of vascular plants, they
collected preliminary data on marine algae, mosses,
liverworts, lichens, fungi, and animals.
From 2/1/24 to 5/14/24 the vegetative study was authored,
including research for literature review, methodological
2
calculations, generation of mapping, composing/editing of photographs, and basic layout.
From 5/14/24 to 6/25/24, the paper underwent extensive review, being proofed by volunteer
amateur editors Diga Kern, Norris Thomlinson, and Ann Kobsa. In-kind editing was also
contributed by credentialed botanists Rex Palmer and Cindy (Jaya) DuPuis. In addition, the
study was reviewed by Leila Kealoha from the Steering Committee Formation group, who will be
adding a forward this summer.
(2b) Resource Management Assessment
Over the course of the summer, and based in part on the vegetation survey findings, Leila
Kealoha will conduct a conservation-oriented inventory of resources to be used by the Steering
Committee in shaping future management planning.
(3a) Control of Little Fire Ant
The goals for this category were to continue regular LFA barrier maintenance, to test for LFA
along the more than 1.5 miles of unestablished boundary, and to treat and ongoingly maintain
any infestations discovered. All goals were completed.
Contractor Geoffrey ‘Diga’ Kern took over barrier maintenance work from volunteer Ann Kobsa
who had regularly treated 350m/1148ft of the S Mauka border since January, 2022. This
section was tested every 12 weeks using peanut butter on locally-fashioned bamboo testing
sticks every 15-18 ft. At places where the LFA had managed to cross the barrier (due to pig
activity or falling from extended tree branches), testing sticks were used in grid or transect
patterns to determine the extent of the incursion, to be finally marked with survey tape. A
Bifenthrin treatment was then applied to the infested terrain. In addition, every 6 weeks an 8
foot strip of Bifenthin was applied along the entire barrier. Due to early observation of high LFA
concentrations along about 1/3 of this trail, which resulted in frequent incursions across the
barrier, on 12/26/23 selected “weed” trees were felled to minimize tree-to-tree contact (a known
LFA vector). In addition, a secondary 15-18 foot stream of Bifenthrin was applied along these
3
areas of concentration to slow the spread of LFA populations. By February, 2024, the LFA
pressure along this section of border was stabilized, providing time for other work.
As efforts began to locate survey pins and clear border, LFA was encountered by Will Stein and
Ann Kobsa who were stung at a remote corner near the Kalaemanu ‘haubush’ road. The
6000ft2 extent of this incursion was tested, treated twice with Avaunt gel bait (alternating
between beef liver powder and peanut butter ‘masking’ material), and re-tested from 2/11 - 5/10.
A 6 week Bifenthrin routine was then established and maintained.
As border trail was established, it became possible to test long sections of the property’s
perimeter, using the above-described technique. This was done on 5/9/24 (1212m/3976ft),
5/10/24 (363m/1191ft), and 6/8/24 (964m/3163ft). In addition, roughly 15,000ft2 of highly
vulnerable beach-head (because of regular human activity) and 100m of illegal ATV trail were
tested. Including the previous testing at the Kalaemanu corner, these efforts amounted to
roughly 1.5 miles (2410m/7907ft) of PONC funded testing. All testing was negative, save for
one significant incursion at the beginning of the Alanui Kahakai, amounting to roughly 18,000ft2.
From 5/9 to 5/28 this incursion was tested and twice treated with Avaunt gel bait, with the same
technique as described above. Because of the size of this incursion, follow-up testing and a
second round of two baitings is projected to be required in the 3rd quarter of 2024.
The remote Hau Forest section of boundary (8% of entire boundary) could not be tested,
because the thickness of the forest will require a major effort to penetrate with trail work.
However, because human activity is the LFAs main vector, because no LFA were found near
4
this remote section, and because this area was traversed twice (3/30 and 5/7) with no stings
occurring, it is highly unlikely that LFA are present.
In summary, we are extremely fortunate that the interior of Wai`ele is most probably LFA-free.
Going into the future, it is recommended that interior work such as the establishment of auxiliary
trails be accompanied by LFA testing, in order to verify this tentative conclusion. Continued
vigilance will also be required from volunteers and workers to not inadvertently introduce LFA
carried on foodstuffs, equipment, or vegetative propagation materials/potted plant keiki.
For 2024-25, LFA maintenance will be transitioning to Hawai`i Environmental Restoration. As
Wai`ele gradually experiences more human presence, the more potent chemicals required for
initial LFA treatment and stabilization can be transitioned to a less toxic treatment. In
consultation with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Little Fire Ant Lab, a plan to use S-
methoprene (Tango) gel bait as a LFA buffer at Wai`ele is being developed. For the three
existing pressure points (S Mauka trail, Kalaemanu corner, and Alanui Kahakai corner) this plan
will implement gel bait treatments (6 weeks) and testing (12 weeks) at the same intervals as at
the present. Initial projections indicate this work can be accomplished within the $5,647.00
budgeted. After the first year of treatments, the frequency of treatment can be halved, although
testing must continue at the same intervals. For the rest of the borders, testing every 16 weeks
will be sufficient to nip any new incursions in the bud. Diga Kern also recommends that
additional tree-to-tree contact work takes place at all three incursion points, in order to minimize
costly re-testing and bait treatments. This work will complement the upcoming fencing contract
and will maximize effectiveness of the buffers.
(3b) Control of Invasive Plants
Completion of the botanical study in June 2024 provided plant control workers with GIS data to
locate and selectively treat aggressive individuals of species such as Ficus microcarpa,
Falcataria moluccana, Passiflora laurifolia, Macaranga tanarius, and Schinus terebinthifolius.
This work will be prioritized by Will Stein during the three months of summer, 2024.
(4) Marine Debris
Removal
A major volunteer
beach cleanup event
was held on
12/31/23. Leading up
to the event, paid
and volunteer trail
preparation,
promotion,
coordination, and
supplies work was
conducted to make
the event smooth.
We teamed with
Keone Kalawe for
parking, supplies,
and roadside-
5
transfer station pickup; with Clive
Cheetham and crew for truck use and
transfer station run; and with the Koa`e
Community Association for volunteers.
Twenty-seven volunteer contributed a
total of 96 hours of work, to achieve
1500# of trash hauled from the Beach
Rd and the coast, from Wai`ele to
Kalaemanu. Following the event, Diga
Kern donated a short edited video of
the event, uploaded to MOPs YouTube
Channel and the the Koa`e Community
FaceBook page, with a reach of 64 and
57 views, respectively.
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPv9ugA9WJw&t=27s)
A second cooperative Hawai`i
Environmental Restoration / Malama O Puna beach cleanup is planned for 7/13/24. A survey of
the coast has revealed significant new amounts of flotsam/jetsam between Kalaemanu and
Wai`ele, so the cleanup’s route and scope will be similar to the 12/31 event. In addition,
volunteers will collect `opala left by pakalolo growers in the hau forest near Kalaemanu. This
event is projected to capture 1 ton (2000#) of trash with the help of 35 volunteers, 3 paid
coordinators, and two trucks.
(5a) Trail Maintenance & Signage
The goals for this budget category were to maintain Wai`ele’s three sections of pre-existing trail,
to locate boundary survey pins, and to create trails along all borders. All goals were completed.
6
Wai`ele has three sections of pre-existing trail, the Alanui Kahakai, the Makai Access Trail, and
the South Mauka Border Trail’s old section. In preparation for the 12/31/23 MOP coastal
cleanup, a group of two volunteers and one contractor realigned, cleared, maintained, and
refreshed red ti plantings along 1411m/4256 ft of access and prehistoric trail. A similar effort
involving a larger number of volunteers and contractors will be accomplished during the first 2
weeks of July for the MOP/HER community coastal cleanup event on 7/13/24.
On 1/26/24, work began identifying survey pins along the borders, with the intention of
establishing border trails for the property. On 3/30/24, 3 contractors and one volunteer
completed the survey pin identification work, resulting in 12 of 17 pins being located.
Provisional pin locations were established for the remaining 5 locations, by cross-referencing
between GIS data and digital compass orienteering.
Border trail establishment took place between 4/13 and 6/8, with primarily one contractor
accomplishing the work. A combination of digital compass orienteering and survey tape
flagging allowed gradual determination of straight lines between survey pins. Electric chainsaw,
loppers, and hand tools were used to cut living and dead “weed” trees to clear obstructions.
Native trees were circumnavigated rather than cut. Fortunately, minimal cutting of canoe plants
was necessary. Logs and rocks were moved to the side as needed. In total, over a mile
(1741m/5712ft) of new border trail was established. Because of low Little Fire Ant incursion risk
and degree of difficulty, the remote Hau Forest (246m/807ft, 8% of entire border) section
remains the only section not attempted.
Informational signage needs to be developed after the completion of the archaeological study.
The consultant doing this study will also work with Keone Kalawe and produce a curriculum for
training youth volunteers in how to identify and preserve
7
Signage provided by the County through Maxine Cutler has been prominently placed notifying
ATV users that their motorized activities are illegal on County property. Property boundary
signage has been deferred until after completion of fencing in the 2024-25 cycle.
As suggested, DOFAWs Na Ala Hele has been researched as a possible partner for Wai`ele’s
Alanui Kahakai. Ownership and access of the ancient trail is complicated because the trail
straddles two properties and no parking facilities exist. As the Steering Committee forms and
begins making management decisions, association with Na Ala Hele and additional signage will
re-considered.
(5b) Coordination of Community Volunteers
Over the course of the grant period, Diga Kern has assembled the crews of trail maintenance,
survey pin identification, trail-making, botanical, and marine debris removal volunteers and
contractors. He has communicated, planned, and coordinated reporting/invoicing/compliance
for these activities, keeping track of them on a comprehensive spreadsheet, attached.
Once the curriculum package is developed with the assistance of the archaeological consultant
and Keone Kalawe, efforts to bring groups of youthful volunteers on site will commence.
(6) Steering Committee Activities
The three members of the Steering Committee, Keone Kalawe, Iopa Maunakea, and Leila
Kealoha have held four meetings since the contract was received in November 2023. The work
8
have worked at forming a protocol for the composition and selection of a long term Steering
Committee developing a model that could be replicated by other PONC stewardship groups.
Due to schedules and work commitments, they have not completed their work on this initial
stage and plan to have 1-2 more meetings over the summer to take the draft plan they’ve
developed to a final report.
CONCLUSION
For the seven months during which County funds have been available, MOP has expended
52% of its budget towards the below activities. The table does not reflect some expenditures
towards the Steering Committee Formation group. The botanical survey is complete, and the
bulk of Little Fire Ant control and Trail Maintenance activities are accomplished. In the coming
five months, focus will be put on control of invasive plants, continued LFA maintenance, creating
of auxiliary interior trails, and a large marine debris removal event. MOP anticipates that this
work will all come in below budget, with a some activities rolling over to the FY24-25.

MOP continues its tradition of robust volunteer activity, with 86% of its in-kind commitments
already being accomplished. In addition to unpaid volunteers, MOP contractors themselves
continue to donate a portion of their activities to this important PONC program. By the end of
the fiscal year, we project that 60 unique volunteers will have contributed to Wai`ele,
contributing roughly 50% more value than budgeted.

Wai’ele Steering Committee
Working Papers
June 30, 2024
The work provided is in draft form and represents work done over multfple meetfngs to
establish guidelines for creatfon of Steering or Guidance Committees to assist with the
stewardship of culturally sensitfve propertfes in Hawaii. This effort is specific to the Wai’ele in
Puna, but represents ideas and approaches from a consortfum of individuals and groups
engaged in attempts to steward lands that are of importance to our natfve Hawaiian populatfon,
are critfcal habitat for indigenous plant and animal species, and which need to be preserved and
managed in an inclusive way that draws in the expertfse and energies of the communitfes where
these lands are situated.
These working papers lay a basis for a final report which will be developed over the course of a
couple more meetfngs of the Steering Committee. We are sharing these drafts to give the
County assurance that this work is being done, it’s important and we hope will provide a
framework for assistfng other communitfes to form their own stewardship steering committees.

Guidelines & Regulatory Measures
Executive Summary
The purpose of the development of guidelines and regulatory measures are to identffy the
purpose, scope and authority of an Advisory council to make decisions about land stewardship
at Waiʻele, Puna, Hawaii. This document will serve as the guidelines and regulatory measures
for the advisory council.
Establishment and Authority of Malama O Puna
1. Establishment
Malama O Puna is a 501 c(3) nonprofit established in ? in the land management and
stewardship practfces of Waiʻele, Puna, Hawaii.
Malama O Puna is a Hawai‘i non-profit corporatfon and 501(c)(3) volunteer service organizatfon
which focuses on the environment. Our mission is to assure critfcal habitat for natfve species and
open space for future generatfons through environmental ed. Insert MOP Mission

4. Viability
a. The PONC Commission awarded Malama O Puna a Stewardship grant to develop
an advisory committee to engage lineal and cultural descendants in the
stewardship of Waiʻele.
b. The focus is about the protectfon and preservatfon of the natural and cultural
resources, promotfng sustainable land management practfces, engaging the local
community and enhancing ecological and cultural resilience
Establishment and Authority of Waiʻele Advisory Council
1. Establishment and Authority of the Advisory Council
4
a. The Wai’ele Advisory council was established to address the needs and
challenges related to:
a. Cultural preservatfon: to raise awareness of the cultural significance of
Wai’ele and the surrounding region and promote actfvitfes that preserve
and celebrate our cultural heritage
b. Environmental stewardship: to advocate for and implement sustainable
land and resource management practfces that protect the environment
and support our local economy
c. Community engagement: fostering collaboratfons to build partnerships
among various stakeholders including local residents, government
agencies and nonprofit organizatfons to achieve our common goals
b. The council was formed to provide to strategic guidance, facilitate collaboratfon
and ensure that initfatfves in the region align with the values and goals of lineal
and cultural descendants and our local community
c. Malama O Puna wants to ensure that individuals with ancestral tfes to Wai‘ele
direct the planning of long term maintenance and stewardship actfvitfes. To that
end we have been working with three individuals who will help create a steering
committee that is fully inclusive of current community as well as honoring those
families and ohana with ancestral connectfons to the Wai’ele. Keone Kalawe,
antfcipated to be recognized by SHPD as the lineal descendent of the Wai’ele, is
already recognized as the foremost ancestral representatfve of the area. He is
involved with the maintenance and preservatfon of the KSBE’s Kahuwai adjacent
to the Wai’ele. In additfon, he is recognized as a direct lineal descendants of the
area of Cape Kumukahi. Iopa MaunaKea also has ancestral tfes to Wai’ele. He has
also taken as his kuleana the management and preservatfon of many areas along
this sectfon of the Puna coast including the adjacent areas to the Wai’ele. With
the help of the former President of Malama O Puna, Iopa founded the Men of
Pa’a, an organizatfon known for its extensive community service. Leila Kealoha
also maintains close ancestral tfes to the lands along this sectfon of the Puna
coastline. Leila is the President/Chair of Pohaku Pelemaka, a nonprofit the works
with ‘ohana representfng the lands from Kalapana to Kumukahi. With the
involvement of these natfve Hawaiians with ancestral tfes to this sectfon of
Puna’s coastline, we will be guided in the development of a steering committee
that will direct the long-term maintenance planning and annual stewardship
actfvitfes. During the twelve-month grant period and in additfon to assistfng in
stewardship actfvitfes as noted above, these three individuals will: 1) Research
the ancestral families who stfll maintain a presence in the community
surrounding Wai'ele and who may wish to partfcipate in the Steering Committee,
5
2) Identffy community members other than the three consultants and Malama O
Puna board members who have an interest in serving on this committee, 3) Set
up a process that ensures all persons appointed to the Steering committee agree
to respectiul behavior as members of the Steering Committee, 4) Set up a
protocol for deciding who will be members of the Steering Committee, 5) Identffy
how the Steering Committee will functfon with regard to holding regular
meetfngs, tfme and place for such meetfngs, and establish rules of behavior for
the meetfngs. 6) Identffy the scope of services to be provided by the Steering
Committee (e.g. review and approve annual stewardship applicatfons, assist in
specific tasks related to stewardship, establish a vision and mission for a
comprehensive management plan.)
2. Mission, Vision, and Executfve Summary
