Forest Work Day with Tim Tunison
Want to get some exercise and learn about native plants? Our Forest Work Days continue on Saturday, April 25 from 1-3pm at the Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village. This free event is an opportunity for families, organizations, groups and individuals to connect with nature and each other while helping to perpetuate a rare, natural, historical, cultural, and inspirational resource.
Efforts will focus on the removal of invasive iris, ivy, and ginger species that threaten to encroach on the 7.4 acre former Forest Reserve. Niaulani Rain Forest is a rare, old-growth `ohi`a and koa tree forest with a successful restoration story.
Forest Work Days are held on the final Saturday of every month at Niaulani. No reservations, experience, or tools are required. Volunteers should bring gloves and rain gear in case of wet weather. VAC’s Niaulani Campus is located at 19-4074 Old Volcano Road. For further information, contact Volcano Art Center at (808)967-8222.

Tim was an early botany/restoration mentor to me in North Cascades National Park long ago. My slide show at the link above, includes a modest tribute to Tim that I’d like him to see (slides 45-49). The email address I have for Tim no longer works.
Thanks very much. John
Will do! Mahalo for sharing!
