Kalihi Stream Project

Kalihi Community Resources Improvement Stream Project

Begun in 1998, HTF's Kalihi Stream Project was an initiative to facilitate the improvement of a portion of Kalihi Stream adjacent to Kuhio Park Terrace and build community stewardship through regularly-scheduled stream clean-up days to remove trash and stream debris, eradicate invasive alien plants and plant indigenous plants. The cultural exchanges to the Windward and Leeward farms, fishponds and taro lo`i offered keiki the opportunity to learn about other places and ecosystems.

The Kalihi Stream Project was sustained until it ended in 2009, with Section 319 Polluted Runoff Control grants from the State Department of Health. HTF received additional funding from DOH Section 319 DOH grants, the National Fish and Wildlife Service, the Cooke Foundation, and the Hawai`i Community Foundation.

Phase IV continued restoration and stream clean-up efforts; introduced stream educational material to area schools including field trips to the stream demonstration site; established stewardship programs and conducted a cultural exchange between Hoa Aina o Makaha in Waianae, a rural educational organization, and students from Kalihi (above).
