Conservation hike to Kanaele Bog with Natalia Tangalin
On 09/04 NTBG Interns hiked 6 miles into a protected area "located above the town of Kalaheo in the mountains of South Kaua'i, the Kanaele Bog is an ecologist’s gem – a mosaic of low-growing sedges, stunted trees, and unique plants. In 2003, the Nature Conservancy signed a 10-year management agreement with the landowner Alexander & Baldwin that would allow the Conservancy to care for this distinctive wetland ecosystem and ensure its continued survival." We hiked and planted federally and critically endangered endemic plants behind the fenced areas. Should have brought my snorkel since it rained for 5 hours during the process ! In the name of botany and plant consecration efforts.
