Mahalo to David Tsugawa for coordinating the learning opportunity for us. Dr. Richard Stevens for sharing his reforestation journey with us. We learned about the Lama and wiliwli trees' cultural significance and uses.

And of course we had a very productive business meeting. Photo Cradits: Cassandra kam and Cheryl Stiglmeier
