ʻO ka mea i hoʻomaka i ka 13 makahiki i hala ma ke ʻano he papahana papa i lilo i hui lāʻau ulu ulu ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Orange. I ka makahiki 1994, ua koho ʻia ʻo Dan Slater—ʻo ia ka mea ma hope o kēlā makahiki i ka ʻaha kūkā o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Orange—i loko o kahi papa alakaʻi. No kāna papahana papa, ua koho ʻo ia e kālele i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke kūlana o nā kumulāʻau alanui e emi ana o ke kūlanakauhale.
"I kēlā manawa, ʻino ka ʻoihana a ʻaʻohe kālā o ke kūlanakauhale no ke kanu ʻana i nā kumulāʻau i make a pono e pani ʻia," wahi a Slater. ʻO kekahi poʻe i hui pū me Slater a me ka hui, ʻO Orange for Trees, hoʻomaka e ʻimi kālā a hōʻiliʻili i nā mea manawaleʻa.
"ʻO ko mākou manaʻo nui ma nā alanui noho i liʻiliʻi a ʻaʻohe kumu lāʻau a ua hoʻāʻo mākou e kiʻi i ka nui o nā kamaʻāina ma luna o ka moku e kōkua i ke kanu a hoʻoinu iā lākou," wahi āna.
Kanu nā kānaka manawaleʻa i nā lāʻau ma Orange, CA.
Na Laau i mea hooikaika
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ma hope o ka noho ʻana o Slater i ke keʻena, ua loaʻa ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā ʻo Orange me kahi pilikia e hōʻike ana i ka pilina hohonu o nā kānaka me nā kumulāʻau. Aia ma kahi o 30 mile ma ka hikina hema o Los
ʻO Angeles, ʻO Orange kekahi o nā kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi ma Kaleponi Hema i kūkulu ʻia a puni kahi plaza. He wahi koʻikoʻi ka plaza no ka moku mōʻaukala kū hoʻokahi o ke kūlanakauhale a he kumu haʻaheo no ke kaiāulu.
I ka makahiki 1994 ua loaʻa nā kālā no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka plaza. Ua makemake nā mea hoʻomohala e wehe i nā paina Canary Island he 16 a hoʻololi iā lākou me Queen Palms, kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni o Kaleponi Hema. "He olakino a nani loa nā lāʻau paina a kiʻekiʻe loa," wahi a Bea Herbst, he lālā hoʻokumu o Orange for Trees a me ka pelekikena hope o ka hui. “ʻO kekahi mea e pili ana i kēia mau paina, ʻo ia ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka lepo ʻino loa. He lāʻau paʻakikī lākou.
Akā ua kūpaʻa nā mea hoʻomohala. Ua hopohopo lākou no ka hoʻopilikia ʻana o nā paina i kā lākou hoʻolālā e hoʻokomo i ka ʻai waho ma ka plaza. Ua pau ka hihia i mua o ka ʻaha kūkā o ke kūlanakauhale. E like me kā Herbst e hoʻomanaʻo nei, "ʻoi aku ma mua o 300 poʻe ma ka hālāwai a ma kahi o 90 pakeneka o lākou he pro-pine."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Slater, ka mea e paʻa mau nei i ka Orange for Trees, ua kākoʻo mua ʻo ia i ka manaʻo o Queen Palms ma ka plaza, akā ua hoʻohuli ʻia e Herbst a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. "Manaʻo wau ʻo ia wale nō ka manawa ma ka ʻaha kūkā o ke kūlanakauhale i hoʻololi ai i kaʻu koho," wahi āna. Ua mau nā paina, a i ka hopena, ʻōlelo ʻo Slater ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i kona hoʻololi ʻana i kona manaʻo. Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻolako ʻana i ka nani a me ka malu no ka plaza, ua lilo nā kumulāʻau i mea waiwai kālā i ke kūlanakauhale.
Me kona mau hale mōʻaukala a me kona mau hale, ka plaza nani a me kona kokoke i Hollywood, ua lawelawe ʻo Orange ma ke ʻano he wahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni no kekahi mau hōʻike televise a me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni, me That Thing You Do with Tom Hanks a me Crimson Tide me Denzel Washington a me Gene Hackman. "He ʻono kaona liʻiliʻi loa kona a ma muli o nā paina ʻaʻole ʻoe e noʻonoʻo pono i Kaleponi Hema," wahi a Herbst.
ʻO ka hakakā ʻana e hoʻopakele i nā paina plaza i kōkua i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ke kākoʻo no ka mālama ʻana i nā kumulāʻau kūlanakauhale a no ka ʻAlani no nā kumulāʻau, wahi a Herbst a me Slater. ʻO ka hui, ka mea i lilo i mea waiwai ʻole ma ʻOkakopa 1995, aia i kēia manawa ma kahi o ʻelua kakini mau lālā a me kahi papa ʻelima mau lālā.
Hooikaika mau
ʻO ka mission Orange for Trees ʻo ia ke "kau, pale a mālama i nā kumulāʻau o Orange, ma ka lehulehu a me ka pilikino." Hoʻākoakoa ka hui i nā mea manawaleʻa no ke kanu ʻana mai ʻOkakopa a Mei. ʻEhiku mau mea kanu i kēlā me kēia kau, wahi a Herbst. Manaʻo ʻo ia ua kanu ʻia ma kahi o 1,200 mau kumulāʻau i loko o ka Orange for Trees i nā makahiki he 13 i hala.
Hana pū ʻo Orange for Trees me nā mea hale e aʻo iā lākou e pili ana i ke koʻikoʻi o nā kumulāʻau a pehea e mālama ai iā lākou. Ua hoʻohana ʻo Herbst i ʻelua mau makahiki i ke aʻo ʻana i ka horticulture ma ke kula liʻiliʻi a hele i nā hale e hāʻawi i nā ʻōlelo aʻo kumu lāʻau me ka uku ʻole. Hoʻopiʻi pū ka hui i ke kūlanakauhale ma ka inoa o nā kamaʻāina no ka mālama lāʻau a me ke kanu ʻana.
kanu nā ʻōpio kūloko i nā kumulāʻau me ka ʻAlani no nā kumulāʻau.
Wahi a Slater, ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kākoʻo mai ke kūlanakauhale a me kona poʻe kamaʻāina ʻo ia ke kī i nā hana a ka hui. "ʻO kahi ʻāpana o ka kūleʻa mai ka kūʻai ʻana mai nā kamaʻāina," wahi āna. "ʻAʻole mākou e kanu i nā kumulāʻau i makemake ʻole nā kānaka iā lākou a ʻaʻole mālama iā lākou."
Wahi a Slater, ʻo nā hoʻolālā no ka wā e hiki mai ana o Orange for Trees e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hana a ka hui e hana nei. "Makemake au e ʻike iā mākou e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma kā mākou e hana nei, e hoʻonui i kā mākou lālā, a hoʻonui i kā mākou kālā a me kā mākou pono," wahi āna. A ʻo ia ka nūhou maikaʻi no nā kumulāʻau o ʻAlani.
