A 3.25-year pilot project to restore 6,000 square feet of native Hawaiian riparian ecosystem on private property near a freshwater spring that feeds into Hakalau stream. The project will completely remove invasive species and establish a diverse native plant community using ho'i'o ferns for groundcover with native trees and shrubs as overstory, designed to become zero-maintenance within a few years. The project includes comprehensive documentation of restoration processes and costs to create a replicable template for future private property restorations throughout Hawaii.
