3.2.2k14...kūkākūkā...Planning for the maintenance and care of the five hundred acres surrounding Kūkaniloko Birthstones State Monument in collaboration with Hawaiian Legacy Hardwoods has begun. An onsite meeting was a good place to begin to feel the ʻāina and to sort through thoughts and ideas together. Restoration and reforestation of the Native Ecosystem of kalana Kūkaniloko begins with a Legacy Trees Program. Koa trees are sponsored one tree at a time. The “Legacy Talking Forest” is next generation technology that will allow the tree sponsor to leave a recorded message, song or even a video connected to their Legacy Tree. Through the use of a cellular telephone app, anyone can walk through the forest and the trees will speak to you. This is only one phase of the program. Kulanui O Kūkaniloko awaits...Hoʻomaikaʻi

3.7.2k14...Kaʻala Elementary School Visit...A rescheduled field trip was set for Kaʻala Elementary School fourth graders on March 7th to both Oʻahunui and Kūkaniloko Birthstones State Monument with ʻanakala Tom Lenchanko. About 80 haumana from Kaʻala Elementary School of Wahiawā along with 8-10 teachers and chaperones attended. Weather was overcast, but the rains stayed away long enough for us to finish. ʻAnakala Tom did his maikaʻi presentation at both sites. I shared a small demonstration with the haumana to have them connect back to the ʻāina. I asked them to remove their socks and shoes and stand barefooted upon the grounds while closing their eyes. I explained that this would connect and center each of them to the piko, Kūkaniloko. My heart was extremely happy to see all these haumana connected back to the piko!!!

Mahalo e ʻanakala Tom!!! Kumu Andrea Noelani DeVincent of the Central Oʻahu DOE Kupuna and Makua Program and haumana

Friday, November 9, 1962 Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawā meeting. Guest speaker: Kupuna Pilahi Paki Question: Is the true Hawaiian greeting ʻanoʻai? Pilahi Paki: That was the true Hawaiian greeting: "not one greater than another." ALOHA is something that is there. We can feel it but cannot touch it. ALOHA is a way of life because it takes your heart. The five ways to bring ALOHA out are: your eyes, your spoken words, your hands, your hearing and your breath. Everyone says ALOHA. Every malahini says ALOHA. How many of us remember how to say ALOHA from the heart? Today, ALOHA is taken for granted.

Honolulu firefighters are battling a brush fire in Wahiawā in the mountains above Halemano. Officials say the fire first sparked on state property last week, two-and-a-half miles past the end of the road at Halemano Military Reservation. Officials say the fire, which is currently an acre in size, is still smoldering. City and federal firefighters and the Division of Forestry and Wildlife will work until dusk to put it out.

The flare-up along Kaukonahua ridge on March 25, 2014 (Photo: DLNR) Crews with the state Division of Forestry and Wildlife are mopping up a 30-acre brushfire on Kaukonahua ridge in Wahiawā. The Department of Land and Natural Resources says morning rain helped crews get the fire to 90-percent containment. State personnel remain on scene, monitoring the perimeter and assessing damage along the steep terrain. The fire first sparked on state property last week, two-and-a-half miles past the end of the road at Halemano Military Reservation. Crews had it fully contained at one acre until strong winds caused a flare-up Monday. Contract helicopters performing water drops and federal firefighters were brought in to assist on Tuesday. Officials say the fire is burning in deep leaf litter from eucalyptus and uluhe, a type of fern, which can allow it to smolder for days.
