Kalalau Trail - Introduction
Work improving the Kalalau Trail between Ke`e Beach and
Hanakapi`ai Beach is well under way, using funds awarded to KPAA by the Hawai`i
State Legislature. KPAA has contracted with Pono Pacific Land Management, LLC,
and currently a crew of five is actively employed in trail building under
Charlie Cobb-Adams’ supervision, the proprietor of Native Hawaiian Conservation
and Hiking Expeditions.
The Friends
of Kalalau Trail organize twice-a-month volunteer trail rehabilitation
workdays. Community members are also contributing their expertise to help
assure the best possible long-term results from the State’s investment in the
Kalalau Trail Restoration and Reconstruction project. Citizens’ Advisory
Committee member Suzanne Marinelli composed these five vignettes that convey
her impression the volunteerism that sustains this world-renowned trail.
