Laulima outplanting

Many hands make light work.  We had a lot of help for our Saturday(2/5) outplanting.  It took 25 of us about 2 hours to plant
~410 koaiʻa
~110 nānea
1 ʻulu
1 puakenikeni
1 halapepe
The planting went smoothly and we had the right tools for the job(mahalo NARS,TMA).  I think our system of contour weed mats are going to work great for our native plants.  We are thankful to all who helped for bringing their good energy with them that morning.  It was great to see the kids doing their part and just enjoying themselves on the ʻāina.  
The koaiʻa planted so far represent a little more than a quarter of what we eventually want to have for this property.  I will need to collect and propagate more koaiʻa.  How quickly I can do this will dictate how long the land will be bare.
I think the outplanting was very encouraging for everyone, and now 2000 trees doesn't seem too daunting of a task.  We just need to keep chipping away at it and continue to ʻimi pono.  Mahalo again everyone for your help and we hope you will return again to hoʻopili ʻāina.
