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 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.

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.
