Happy Sunday and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! A gorgeous morning we had doing three different activities. The underwater team explored the inlet and removed line and other debris. Invasive plants team uprooted buffelgrass, freeing up native naupaka.
Quite a windy afternoon in Waimānalo, perhaps as Tropical Storm Pena passes south of us, we are feeling some parts of that. We got to sit into the moʻolelo of the site, Muliwaiʻōlena, and also into a larger discussion about the ecology that surrounds us.
Happy Aloha Friday and Big Mahalo to today's tremendous team! What a great turnout! Many are students studying botany so today was a great fit. The afternoon was filled with light sprinkles and rainbows. We worked all 4 hillsides today removing invasive plants to...
Today was a perfect day for our work. A nice breeze, overcast, and not too humid, great! We did a bunch of weeding in two outplanting areas and even brought out the weed whacker today to push back some buffel grass. Soil was still pretty wet, so pulling weeds were pretty easy.
Mahalo Nui to our cherished friends who joined us for our 3rd annual fundraiser! So great to talk story, hear a beautiful song, share accomplishments, giveaway prizes and enjoy everyone's company 😊 Big Mahalo to our gracious host Patagonia and our sponsor Hana Koa Brewing Co.
Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! Everything continues to look so green thanks to the rain. Bits of rubbish widespread and we also removed remnant plugs of invasive buffelgrass. Join us for our annual fundraiser this Thursday night- details at 808cleanups.org 🧡
Happy Election Day and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! Thanks to the holiday we had a great turnout with lots of students. We ventured to a new section for many folks to remove invasive buffelgrass from a native plant heavy zone.

Recent rain has made its presence clear. Weeds weeds weeds weeds! The ocean was also very evidently impacted by rain, a lot of debris and discoloration. We worked hard both by hand and with the weed whacker to continue to push back at the guinea and beard grass.
808 CLEANUPS would like to wish all of you a Happy Halloween!
Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Werewolves, Zombies, Ghouls and Ghosts are all scary....but honestly we're tackling some horrifying things as a team!

Happy Halloween and Happy Aloha Friday! 🎃🌺 Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards. We took time to discuss site history and native plants, then we dove right into the work. So much invasive guinea grass to remove from all the rains but the rain has made for strong native...
Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! This site is getting extra rain blessings and the native plants are getting additional growing opportunities. More work for us removing invasives as well but we can deal with the tradeoff. Lots of weeding around native plantings as well...
Big Mahalo to today's tremendous team! Some heavy work today removing massive guinea grass roots as well as smaller invasives. Lots of rubbish and rotten chicken eggs to be found along the way. Will also have to consider cleaning the invasive trees out of the roof...
Big Mahalo to today's tremendous team! Lots of action today with fishing line and lead removed from coral reef and derelict nets and other rubbish removed from the beach. We even rescued an injured sooty tern and a volunteer took it to Feather and Fur. 808cleanups.org 🧡
Happy Aloha Friday and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! A rainy year makes much work for us in removing invasive plants, but it also makes native plants grow big and strong. We split work between two hillsides today. Had a beautiful sunset and moonrise to wrap things up.
Another wonderful learning day in the Koko Crater Botanical Garden with Talia. We were introduced to another area where we got to meet a few new native species! What a privilege to be trusted to work around and for this living collection.
Happy Wednesday and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! Lots of fishing line left as well as a few used diapers. As we restore this space we see for the most part that beautification helps keep things clean as well. Mahalo Nui Team and join us at 808cleanups.org 🧡
