Donated taro huli, or starts, are planted in the lo’i kalo on April 24.
Second photo: UH-Maui student and Aloha ‘Aina member Joseph Pascua carries a handful of muddy weeds to a bucket while helping clean the lo’i kalo at Kepaniwai Heritage Garden’s Hawaiian hale on April 24. “Being part of this organization involves learning about the culture, which is an honor,” Pascua said.

It’s National Park Week 2021, and to mark the occasion, here’s a trivia question: Which park encompasses more than 33,000 acres, has a variety of microclimates and is home to more endangered species than any other national park in the U.S.?
If you answered Haleakala National Park, give yourself a pat on the back.
Vast, rugged and jaw-droppingly beautiful, the park is a geological marvel and biological wonderland. For as long as she can remember, Iao Valley resident Olena Alec has cherished this natural treasure.
