What: Volunteers will be helping with site maintenance of the park, activities such as restoring walking paths, watering, clearing brush.
Please bring water bottles, sunscreen / hats, covered shoes.
About the Park: https://kalaeloaheritagepark.org/ The Kalaeloa Heritage Park site is a relatively undisturbed, 11-acre parcel with over 50 recorded cultural sites that consist of ancient habitation structures, sinkholes, and the Kualaka’i trail. These cultural structures are unique and cannot be found anywhere else in Hawai’i. They are constructed of coral and hint at a Tahitian origin due to the integration of upright stones in their construction. The topography of the area offers important context. Stretching along the coast from Pearl Harbor to Wai‘anae, the entire ‘Ewa Plain is an emerged coral reef. The land is uneven, tufted and full of crevices, sinkholes, and underground caves — also known as karsts — that carried fresh water and were used as agricultural and sacred sites for early inhabitants. The vastness of this cultural landscape paints a picture of a community of people that lived and thrived here. It is not a documentation of individual archaeological features but rather a landscape, an ancient community that once lived at a place once known as Kanehili. |

Journey of Tea and Mountains
May 02, 2022
https://www.jefffuchs.com Jeff Fuchs’ journey has been mapped by a long winding loop. His human interest stories and photos have appeared on three continents in publications such as National Geographic Traveler, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Conde Nast, Financial Times and the South China Morning Post amongst others. His work and life were the inspiration for the award-winning documentary, ‘The Tea Explorer’. For a decade he lived in ‘Shangrila’ at 3200 metres, in northwestern Yunnan Province, and became the first documented westerner to walk the entire length of the Himalayan trade route, a journey taking 7.5 months and was the subject of ‘The Ancient Tea Horse Road’ book, published by Penguin-Viking. It was his journeys and living in the Himalayas that embedded the twin essentials of a sense of ‘place’ and curiosity. This transferred into taking school groups (amongst others) into the Himalayas and providing tangible and engaging experiences immersing in the spaces, in the cultures and by extension into the self. National Geographic Traveler magazine named his guided journey along the Tea Horse Road with Wild China, one of their “50 Trips of a Lifetime”, which still runs annually and is all about experiential travel and engagement.
