Resurrection
I'm off again for the weekend. Hoppy
Easter.Last
Monday we went on a hike to an area where this maile grows. Sadly, not nearly as
much as it used to, mainly due to goats. We've fenced goats out of three areas
where three endangered Hawaiian plants plus koa, maile and other plants are
coming back well now. Monday we inspected the exclosures, took out some African
fern and Clidemia, and made plans for creating a goat trap (corral) and a
fenceline that will protect the entire ridge and valley and allow the native
plants to thrive again, which we can see they
will.Maile lau li'i o
Ko'iahi.Fine-leaved
maile of
Ko'iahi.Often used in chants. The
fine-leaved
maile of
Ko'iahi, in Wai'anae, was considered the best on O'ahu for beauty and
frangrance. After the introduction of goats this beautiful and much liked vine
vanished. - 'Olelo No'eau
