Our second presentation of the Biocultural Talk Series at the Waikōloa Dry Forest Presere is on Friday, May 17th. Talk begins at 5:30pm. Gates open at 5:00. Talk will take place within the preserve at Hale Hana Hou where we’ll also provide pupus and refreshments.

The theme of this series is “huli ka lima i lalo”, or to turn your hands down. This ‘ōlelo noe‘au explains that when our hands are turned down, they create meaningful and productive work. Presentations will highlight and discuss essential biocultural resource conservation in our region and the incredible people doing this work. This month we are excited to talk story with Lehua Alapai and Kapena Alapai who are lineal descendants of Kekaha Wai ʻOle o na Kona and aloha ʻāina stewards. They will be sharing updates with their work for Nā ʻŌiwi o Puʻuanahulu. Please join us on Friday, May 17th at 5:30pm. Gates to preserve open at 5:00pm.

Registration is free but space is limited. Please reserve a spot if you plan to attend.
