Below is a photo of over 50 pounds of trash removed from Maunawili Falls Trail. I led a group from two high schools and a Rotary club up to the falls and removed every piece of trash we could find. As we always promote during races, never leave trash on our beautiful trails. If you…
We have a Trail Advisory Council mtg tomorrow in the afternoon. Does anyone have anything they want me to add to my Trail Runner's report? News, trail conditions, etc (we know about the pig on Manoa Cliff) Curt Cottrell will be honored after the meeting (4/14/09– 4 to 5 or 5:30 mtg)- he will be…
I thought you guys would like to know a little bit about the Trail Advisory Council- we meet every other month (just met Tuesday 2/17) to let Aaron, the Na Ala Hele Trail Technician (the main guy up there) bounce ideas off of us regarding current and future handling of NAH trails. There are reps…
22 or so people turned out for the final training session at Peacocks. The weather was perfect with some overcast and coolness in the heights. Many PR’s, and fast times. My challenge was to see how fast I could do it at a walk. Taking pictures and screwing around a bit I managed a sub…
Devon and I headed up to Peacocks and restocked the main water drop at the junction of Kuaokala Road and the Kuaokala Trail on Thursday October 9. It is basically an all day affair to get out there, up the hill, and back down, and return to town. There are 26 gallons at the main…
There has been some discussion of the trail modifications that are going to be installed at Tantalus side of the Manoa Cliffs trail, and, much later, over on Pauoa Flats—Boardwalks or bridges over some of the more muddy areas, so to speak. I can not say I was too excited about them when I first…
Thanks again to all the people who took time out of their busy lives to get out and help with this trail work. All the runners in January will appreciate your efforts as will all the hiker’s who use these trails! Aloha, Bob We had a group of ten that met at the Pumping Station…
We have another nice group going up on the trails this Saturday (12/15) to work on some slide areas near the top of Manoa Cliff trail. We’ll met at the Pumping Station at 6 am, and consolidate into one vehicle (it will be tight). The plan is to drive with our tools to the…
I got word from PJ that they accomplished a lot of work in the time out on the trail yesterday. I personally want to thank these people for taking time out of their busy life to work on the trails. I am including some photos PJ sent. The work crew included: Leon Draxler, Fred Bannan,…
Rain or shine please be there unless there is lightening! meet by 6am….back of Manoa. Contact PJ if you have any questions. Watch for another announcement for Saturday trail work.
Dear trail work day volunteers: After sitting in my vehicle at the top of Manoa Rd this morning (Wednesday), and watching bolts of lightening strike the ridges around me, it seemed prudent to postpone the day’s planned activities. (thanks Bozo and Van for coming to keep me company for a bit) Luckily, our…
We have a great turnout for the Wednesday morning trail work day- thanks everybody!!! The weather might be iffy (at least), so bring raingear. Also, bring your water and food needs for the morning, and a pair of garden gloves will really help. See you Wednesday. PJ
HURT enjoys the privilege of partnerships with State and Federal agencies that hold the responsibility of protecting Oʻahu public lands. Those partnerships are based upon mutual trust and cooperation and shared concerns for the ʻaina. To keep that trust and continue to be provided the opportunity to host trail events, we (HURT) must understand and abide by rules that govern our partner agencies.
HURT does organize and facilitate official trail maintenance only when coordination with our partners has occurred. All trail work is performed under the supervision of a permitted individual with advance permissions. Some trails are off-limits for HURT to perform trail maintenance due to the sensitive flora. No HURT trail maintenance will occur outside of these parameters.
HURT and its partner agencies require that no self-directed trail maintenance occur on publicly-owned trails. Any individuals performing trail work outside of official HURT-organized events, are doing so on their own accord and will be held personally responsible by State and Federal agencies for any violations. Such activity could jeopardize our relationships with partner agencies and lead to inability to use public lands for our events.
