For the action portion of the project, our group members helped outplant various native trees in the area such as Ohia Lehua and Papala; we also cut down a huge number of strawberry guava. This action helps the population of native trees in the forest because it promotes greater biodiversity now that the strawberry guava is less likely to take up land for natural trees.
Our proposed sustainable solution for the project is a state bill for the Board of Education to require all Hawaii schools to have some form of a "green club" that helps restore naturally preserved areas or public lands that need rehabilitation. This is a sustainable solution that could help the future population of native tree species because it would require high school students to volunteer their time and eradicate any non-native species that are decimating the indigenous population.
