Volunteer workday – invasive plant removal
DLNR: State Parks: Diamond Head State Monument
Diamond Head State Monument, Hawaii’s most recognized landmark, is known for its historic hiking trail, stunning coastal views, and military history. Diamond Head State Monument encompasses over 475 acres, including the interior and outer slopes of the crater.
The crater is covered in invasive plants, and our job is to remove them, and introduce a more native seed bank. The main focus for these work days is to remove Belly Ache (Jatropha gossypiifolia). As an extra step, we remove all of the seeds from the plant, so it cannot further spread in the park. Once removed we pile the plants to the side to naturally biodegrade.
Please wear closed toed shoes, bring plenty of water, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and a good attitude. We provide ice water, gloves and tools to help us with this task.
