The Hawai’i Service Trip Program (HSTP) conducted a service trip with 12 adventurous volunteers to Pu‘u Wa‘awa‘a on the island of Hawai‘i from January 2-9, 2010.  The work was conducted in coordination with DLNR Staff at Pu‘u Wa‘awa‘a, and was HSTP’s fourth trip to the preserve.  Thanks to DLNR for allowing us to spend time in this lovely place.
