Happy Aloha Friday and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! With the rains constantly coming through we have had nonstop plant growth at this historically dry space. Plenty of invasive removal to continue today which we did along with Kimeona sharing cultural knowledge on stone weaving.

A little rain today and it turned out to be a beautiful day nonetheless. Mahalo to our crew who hit all targets today in multiple spaces. Buffel grass stood no chance today! More to do of course. Mahalo nui kakou!

Happy Wednesday and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! A great afternoon closing out September. Nice cool breezes all afternoon and this area got RAIN! Looking forward to native plant sprouts from it. Nimitz Beach was OK but the Kalaeloa Campgrounds was a disaster- good grief!

Big Mahalo to today's small but mighty team! Rob applied salt spray on invasive koa haole while the rest of us cut back and dug out invasive buffelgrass. Lots of wind and salt burn on the vegetation from the past week. Mahalo Nui Team and join us for the next one at 808cleanups.org

Expected a bit more tree damage following the wind events but the area faired well. We continued to push into the outplanting areas, removing the guinea grass and other weeds. Great to see the natives thriving! We also cut down a large area of California grass that was growing...

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Quite a windy day but fortunately no rain. We were stoked to be joined by the Kaiser Highschool Just Serve Club as well as returning volunteers. We cleared the beach of marine debris, cleared out small patches of non native Chinese violet plants and even were able to move a large log up...

Happy Aloha Friday and Big Mahalo to today's tremendous team! Just trying to stay upright and not get rolled down the hill by the strong breeze! We removed a lot of invasive grasses and planted a variety of native seeds in their place. Kimeona led a discussion of the space...

Mahalo nui to our team today. Congratulations to our mentor, Talia, who recently was awarded as the Employee of the 2nd Quarter with Honolulu Parks and Recreation Department. We worked in a rather small area, but one that was a grove of Wiliwili trees.

Big Mahalo to today's tremendous team! What a nice treat to have "Fall" weather with a bit cooler and breezy conditions this lovely afternoon. We searched high and low for rubbish and found a decent amount. A lot of time spent today trimming back and digging up invasive plants...

010

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! We took time to walk the area and discuss native plants. Then we went right to work digging out invasive grasses so that native plants can fill in. This being the wettest year in decades we are taking advantage of special Summer/Fall growth 🙌

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Mahalo to our awesome team for the great work in Waimānalo today. The recent storm events really did some damage to this site as well, bringing down two kiawe trees. We spent the day cutting those fallen branches and stacking them up in another area.

010

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

A wonderful afternoon for learning and relationships. We started with a little cultural history of the area and a few cultural names, bridging any gaps of knowing and welcoming all to aspire towards better understanding of the place we call home and or visit.

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Mahalo to our incredible team for making it out today. Light rain and a good wind made it a nice day for invasive species removal. We also got to look around the site and kilo all the things happening through they many environmental events. Lots of life for sure. Stay safe everyone.

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Happy Wednesday, Team! Some surprise light showers greeted us midway through our cleanup. Every bit helps our native plants thrive while also providing more work opportunities to remove invasive plants. Continuous efforts on both ends of this beach in both rubbish and invasives removals.

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! Always a pleasure to introduce first timers to the work and discuss plants and progress. We worked on a particular patch, carefully uprooting invasive buffelgrass and working around the many native plants.

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

What a gorgeous Sunday and Big Mahalo to today's tremendous team! Excellent turnout! Underwater team had excellent conditions today and were able to remove a great amount of line, lead and other debris. Land crew removed rubbish from the road to the harbor and all park space in between.

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Happy Saturday and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! Gorgeous morning with nice surf. The storms have pushed a lot of debris into the rock walls and we found stuff we don't usually come across here like used needles. Did some work to remove pokies (khaki grass) as well. Awesome job team!

010

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Happy Aloha Friday and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! Much to discuss today including site history, native plants, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and much more. Always great to connect with fellow community members in restoring these spaces. Come join us for the next one!

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

It was a hot one today, not a cloud in the sky and no wind at all. We were able to make some progress on the small site work list. Addressing fallen trees and branches from Hurricane Lowell, checked on water tote, native plant checks, shoreline and inlet water check...

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Happy Wednesday and Big Mahalo to today's tremendous team! So muggy today! Well done everyone with the pacing as well as all the rubbish grabbed up and invasive plants uprooted. Native plants continue to spread, utilizing the extra rain from storms. Mahalo Nui Team 🧡

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Big Mahalo to Emily for joining me today and removing a patch of invasive buffelgrass! The surf was still huge out here and thankfully no damage from the storm. The native plants are loving the extra rain from the storms and the invasives are getting beat up by wind driven salt spray.

030

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Well, hold on everyone as Hurricane Lowell comes through. We were able to get some work done before the rain came through in waves. We found shelter briefly under what was left of the large kiawe tree, but its overhanging branches are most likely going to snap in this wind event.

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Mahalo nui to this awesome team for spending this sunday afternoon with us at Queen Liliʻuokalani Botanical Garden. While we were not being impacted directly by rain, we definitely saw the impacts as the stream began to swell and the flow changed rapidly.

010

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Happy Saturday and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! We fanned out in every direction to collect rubbish. Plenty of small bits here and there that added up along with some dumping hot spots along the roadways. Well done team and just in time before some small rains head this way.

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Last day of August gang! Mahalo nui for joining us. The afternoon sun was just enough for us to enjoy without overheating. A nice tradewind was also very exciting to be with. We moved on the california and guinea grass that have popped back up following Hurricane Lālā.

An incredible day together starting with a nice quick soaking of rain, then crisp clean air. Like many places, this area had significant amount of damage due to fallen trees as a result of our recent visit by of Hurricane Lālā. Instead of working on invasive grasses in the Koʻoloaʻula...

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

It was a very humid afternoon! Good grief! But we powered through it. Kept up the work to remove guinea and california grass through the site. Will need to trim back some fallen kiawe trees as well. Native plants looking great. Awesome work team.

020

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

First time back since Hurricane Lālā and wow what power the water has! We saw HUGE rocks moved and several large log jams which easily blocked water and changed the stream until the next storm at least! After we did some checking around folks jumped right into their work.

808 Cleanups @808cleanups.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

A honu struggling for its life in the water, neck and flipper completely wrapped in fishing line, choking out last breaths. A pallet fire, one of the worst we've had to clean up in years. This afternoon had many important lessons to share.
