Native Plant Nursery Work Day at MMS Campus

On Saturday, November 15, 2014 a small group of the Tree Huggers welcomed a group of teachers in the Malama Honua class from UH Manoa to learn about the work they are doing with the Wai'anae Mountains Watershed Partnership.

By the end of the quick afternoon work session we transplanted 660 milo (Thespesia populnea) plants to larger pots and started some lama (Diospyros sandwicensis) in seedling trays.

Those plants will all eventually make their way to the Wai'anae Mountain range. The milo will be a dominant plant in the the vegetative fire break in the Wai'anae kai forest reserve.
