Paepae o He`eia and Papahana Kuaola, two He`eia-based organizations, are partnering together to offer a 13 week spring internship. The He`eia Ahupua`a Internship, a 16 hour per week internship will provide 6 young adults (ages 18-30), a unique opportunity to work outdoors and learn skills important to restore, preserve and protect resources within an ahupua`a.
The concept behind this internship is to nurture the mauka/makai ahupua`a relationship. Work will include: fishpond restoration, aquaculture activities, native plant propagation, lo`i (taro terrace) restoration and stream restoration. In addition to physical work, participants will gain knowledge about wahi pana (place names) and cultural sites within Ko`olaupoko as well as information regarding native and non-native plant and animal species.
