Community Resource Improvement Stream Project (Phase II)
Contractor: Hawaii’s Thousand Friends
Project Period: August 2001 through August
2002
Federal Funds: $30,000 Matching Funds: $43,689
Project Purpose/Goal: To restore Kalihi stream
back to a central asset of the community through education,
stream bank restoration, and by creating and distributing an
educational video.
Status: The educational video has been produced
and there has been a high demand for it from the Kalihi area.
Test plots have been established to see what species of native
plants will be most effective to control erosion in Kalihi
Stream’s environment. Once determined, they will be planted
along the stream bank to reduce erosion and create a better
environment for the animals living in the stream.
