March 2024 - Lānaʻi Culture & Heritage Center led a group of volunteers to a sacred site on Saturday, March 16. The stewardship day took place at an ancient farming community that’s no longer inhabited about two miles from Koele. Volunteers have worked for the last nine years to protect and preserve the site, which includes an ancient heiau and remnants of traditional houses in an area that was once rich agricultural lands. Efforts have been ongoing since 2015 to eliminate introduced trees and clear invasive plants from the area, helping to open up the canopy to restore the native understory.
