COMMUNITY WORK DAY

Community Work Day strives to restore or enhance public places working with 2,000 registered volunteers for Maui County.   Tri-Isle RC&D, Department of Parks and Recreation and Department of Housing and Human Resources assisted Community Work Day by providing $80,000 of grant funding to become self sufficient as a business entity.

Beach Cleanups are implemented by community volunteers to keep marine environment clean by prohibiting the disposal and dumping plastics and other rubbish into our ocean.   Education is provided to the private and public schools on Maui County relating to litter and recycling.

Members of the Pukalani Hula halau planted about thirty native Hawaii trees and shrubs on the roadside easement next to the Upcountry Community Center Saturday as part of Arbor Week.   The name of the garden is Mala Uluwehi O Lono.   The hulu halau worked with the Maui County Department of Parks and Recreation East Maui District, Community Work Day Program, Maui Economic Opportunity's Teens On Call and Hoolawa Farms' Anna Palomino to plant aalii, akia, and wiliwili trees.   Charles Maxwell of the Pukalani Hula Hale said once the trees mature, the halau will use clippings from them as part of their hula costumes.
