Hope your summer is off to a great start! We are excited to share several upcoming events with
you, the first of which is Wednesday (6/28) at The Oahu Club. Join us at the kickoff to our #MalamaTheMarshes Summer Series for an intriguing talk-story and relaxing evening next door to the Hāwea Heiau Complex & Keawāwa Wetland.
The attached flyer lists 5 p.m. as the start time so
that you can settle in and order dinner from "The Cafe by Ethel's Grill" if you so choose. The event will start around 5:30 p.m. Hope to see you there!
Mark 7/12 and 7/19 on your calendars as well for more installments of our awesome series! Same time and place as the first. More info on these to come.

Lastly, a friendly reminder that our next
wetland service day is coming up on 7/8. Come out and help for however long you can, every little bit helps. As usual we'll be there from 8:30 a.m. to around noon. You can find

2-2-17 Happy Wetlands Day!
In the middle of drafting an email to wish you all a happy World Wetlands Day, we received the perfect message doing just that from one of our dedicated weekly team members, Carl Shaad. His
short and sweet note found below comes with some amazing photographs. "This morning I decided to celebrate this momentous occasion with our friends at Keawawa Wetland. They seemed to be
enjoying the day." - Mahalo Carl!
An updated flyer for February is coming. We've moved our celebration and talk-story event at The Oahu Club from the 5th (Super Bowl Sunday) to Sunday, 2/19 from 1-4 p.m. Hope you all can make it! Before then, please join us at the wetland on 2/11 for Second Saturdays.
2017 - January 14th, Second Saturdays Community Workday!
November 12th and December 12th Second Saturdays - Many hands make light work: At our November Second Saturday we hosted the Kaiser High School Interact Club and members of the Hawaii Kai Rotary.
Yesterday's community workday welcomed many new faces from Kaiser HS and the area neighborhoods thanks to Hawaii Kai Rotary and Kaiser HS Interact (sp?). We are especially thankful to Kim (president of HK Rotary) for her efforts to keep the residents, students and local businesses connected with community projects such Hawea heiau complex and Keawawa wetland.
Cultural educator Kaleo provided a solid orientation to the community project and Maunalua. New wetland educator Amanda was introduced and lead a tour of the wetland in search of siting alae'ula.
Wetand volunteer Carl lead participants in maintaining and expanding the pedestrian footpath while Kaleo lead a team upland to the Hawea for tender hand work around the heiau.
9-28-16 Mark your calendar! Come on down to Mud Hen Water next week Wednesday, 9/28 5-7pm. Come and join the celebration at a cocktail mixer where you can mingle with local biologists to learn about efforts to recover the alae ula, found only in Hawaii, and learn about the restaurant's link to this special bird." In particular, this benefit will support the research being conducted by our very own advisor, Charles Van Rees and the Keawawa Wetland.
