Good news on the restoration project!

The fence is nearly complete, with the gates installed this week. And rodent control work is also going well. Numbers continue to decline- we believe that rats are virtually gone and that we are down to the last 1% of the mice. This morning, what we believe is the final cat was caught.
We're on the road to recovery!
Here's a look at the fence:

Education Program Ho`ike


On March 1, students from Nanakuli High & Intermediate, Kamaile Academy, and Wai`anae High School gathered at Camp Erdman in Mokule`ia to share what they learned about Ka`ena Point over the past months. They all made presentations from their group projects, which included games to be played with elementary school students, Power Point presentations, and videos. They were all awesome!


Kamaile Academy students seem to be enjoying what they're seeing!


Students are watching the great videos that Kamaile Academy made. We gotta get those videos posted!


Nanakuli High & Intermediate teacher Mr. Kirkland introduces her students and the game they created for elementary school students.


They tried the game with students at the ho`ike. The questions were kind of hard!
