Our final personal project of the school year proved to be a wet and soggy affair. We volunteered to help eliminate invasive species at the Windward Community College Rain Garden fronting their Hale Imiloa Laboratory. The garden was already soaked from previous rains, so it made stepping through it difficult. A couple of hours into the project, rains poured down as if someone had turned on a faucet! We waited for the rain to clear and worked sporadically, but in the final hour, we probably managed only 15 minutes of actual work. In any case, we were able to remove most of the problem plants in the given work area in spite of the weather. Some soaked clothing, shoes and hair but all in all, a pretty fun day!
