He pōhaku ʻuʻuku i ka wā mua i ko mākou neʻe ʻana i ke kau kanu hāʻule. I ʻOkakopa, ua mālama ʻo ReLeaf i kahi webinar ma ke kanu ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i ka wā COVID e kaʻana like i nā kumuwaiwai a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo me ke kākoʻo mai nā lālā o ka Pūnaewele ʻo Tree Fresno a me Canopy a me ka LA Office of Forest Management. Kaʻana like ʻana i nā manaʻo a kākoʻo kekahi i kekahi (a me nā ululāʻau kūlanakauhale) ke kumu i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ʻo California ReLeaf i ka makahiki 1989.
E like me kā mākou i ʻike ai, ʻo ka lining kālā i manaʻo ʻole ʻia o COVID ʻo ia ka wikiwiki o ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā platform virtual - he mea kōkua nui ia no kahi pūnaewele puni honua o nā mea waiwai ʻole. ʻO ka hiki ke hālāwai me "he alo a he alo" kokoke i ka mahina o ReLeaf Learn Over Lunches ua lilo ia i manawa kūpono no ka Pūnaewele e hoʻohui a kaʻana like i nā ʻike, nā ʻike, nā hana maikaʻi loa. ʻOiai ke kakali nei mākou i ka hiki ke hui hou no kā mākou Network Retreat makahiki i kekahi lā, e noho mau kēia mau hālāwai virtual i kahi ala maikaʻi loa e noho ai i kahi pilina pili loa i ka makahiki.
I ka wā o nā LOL, ua lohe mākou mai kā mākou hui lālā o ReLeaf Network e pili ana i kā lākou mau papahana pūlima a me ke ʻano o kā lākou hoʻololi wikiwiki ʻana i nā mea hana e hoʻoponopono ai i ka hana maʻamau o nā hanana kanu lāʻau liʻiliʻi a me nā ʻano like ʻole o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā mea manawaleʻa. Hoʻomaikaʻi mākou i ka noʻonoʻo a me ke kūpaʻa o kā mākou hui kaiaulu ululāʻau kūlanakauhale i ko lākou noʻonoʻo ʻana i kahi ʻano loli mau.
ʻOiai he makahiki haunaele ia ma ka pilikanaka, ka politika, ka naʻau, a me ka ʻenehana, ua hauʻoli a hōʻoia i ka lohe ʻana i ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o nā paka a me nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo e nā Centers for Disease Control e kōkua ana i ka poʻe e hoʻokō i ke kaumaha. Nui nā limahana mālama ola e paipai i nā mea a pau e hele i waho a hauʻoli i ke ʻano ma nā paka a me ko lākou mau pā hale no ko lākou noʻonoʻo a me ke kino ̶ a e like me kā mākou e ʻike ai, ʻo nā kumulāʻau ka poʻokela o ke ʻano.
