Na ke kālā ARRA e ʻae iā California ReLeaf e puʻunaue i nā haʻawina i nā papahana ululāʻau kūlanakauhale he 17 a puni ka mokuʻāina, e kanu ana ma mua o 23,000 mau kumulāʻau, hana a mālama paha i kahi kokoke i 200 mau hana, a me ka hoʻolako ʻana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa hana no nā ʻōpio he nui i nā makahiki ʻelua e hiki mai ana.
Na ke kālā ARRA ke kuleana no nā ʻano hana ʻōmaʻomaʻo e like me nā hana ma ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana o ka panela solar, ka halihali ʻē aʻe, ka hoʻopau ʻana i ke ahi, a me nā mea hou aku. He ʻokoʻa ka hāʻawi kālā ʻo California ReLeaf i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā hana ma ke kanu a mālama ʻana i nā kumulāʻau kūlanakauhale.
ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i nā hana, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahi pilikia, ʻo ia ka mea nui o nā papahana.
"Ke hana nui nei kēia mau kālā," wahi a Sandy Macias, ka luna papahana no Urban and Community Forestry ma ka US Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region. "Ke hana maoli nei lākou i nā hana a he nui nā pōmaikaʻi e hiki mai ana mai ka ululāʻau kūlanakauhale."
ʻO kā California ReLeaf $6 miliona he ʻāpana liʻiliʻi wale nō ia o ka $1.15 biliona i ʻae ʻia e ka Forest Service e puʻunaue, akā manaʻolana ka poʻe kākoʻo e hōʻike ana i ka loli i ka nānā ʻana o nā kānaka i ka ululāʻau kūlanakauhale.
"Ke manaʻolana nei au e hoʻonui kēia hāʻawi a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i ka ʻike o ka ululāʻau kūlanakauhale," wahi a Martha Ozonoff, ka luna hoʻokele o California ReLeaf.
ʻOiai ʻo ka hāʻawi kālā he ʻāpana o ka hoʻoikaika federal nui, e manaʻo ka poʻe Kaleponi i nā pōmaikaʻi koke o nā hana a me kahi canopy lāʻau olakino i ko lākou mau kaiāulu, wahi āna.
"ʻAʻole kanu ʻia nā kumulāʻau ma kahi pae federal, ua kanu ʻia lākou ma kahi pae kūloko a ke kōkua nei kā mākou hāʻawi i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kaiāulu ma ke ʻano maoli," wahi a Ozonoff.
ʻO kekahi koi koʻikoʻi no ka loaʻa kālā ʻana o ARRA, ʻo ia ka "mākaukau i ka ʻōpala," no laila e hana koke ʻia nā hana. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona o kahi e hana nei ma Los Angeles, kahi e hoʻohana nei ka Los Angeles Conservation Corps i kāna kālā $500,000 e kiʻi a hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka poʻe ʻōpio e kanu a mālama i nā kumulāʻau ma Los Angeles 'ilihune.

“Ke ʻimi nei mākou i nā wahi i haʻahaʻa loa a loaʻa nō hoʻi nā helu hana ʻole kiʻekiʻe loa, ka pae ʻilihune a me ka haʻalele ʻana i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ¬¬¬– ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha, ua like lākou," wahi a Dan Knapp, ka hope luna hoʻomalu o ka LA Conservation Corps.
ʻO ka LA Conservation Corps no nā makahiki i hoʻolako i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa hana i nā ʻōpio a me nā ʻōpio ʻōpio pilikia, e hoʻolako iā lākou me nā ʻano loea lima lima. Ma kahi o 300 mau kāne a me nā wahine e komo i ka Corps i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa hana wale nō, akā, ʻo nā mākau ola, hoʻonaʻauao, a me nā kōkua hoʻonohonoho hana. Wahi a Knapp, aia ka papa helu kali o ka Corps ma kahi o 1,100 mau ʻōpio makua.
ʻO kēia haʻawina hou, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, e ʻae i ka hui e lawe mai ma kahi o 20 mau kānaka ma waena o nā makahiki 18 a me 24 e loaʻa i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ulu lāʻau kūlanakauhale. E ʻoki ana lākou i ke kaʻa a kūkulu i nā pūnāwai lāʻau, e kanu i nā kumulāʻau 1,000, e hoʻolako i ka mālama ʻana a me ka wai i nā kumulāʻau ʻōpiopio, a me ka wehe ʻana i nā lāʻau mai nā kumu lāʻau i kūkulu ʻia.
ʻO ka papahana LA Conservation Corps kekahi o ka nui o nā haʻawina California ReLeaf. Akā ʻo nā haʻawina liʻiliʻi, e like me ka mea i hāʻawi ʻia iā Tree Fresno, ke loaʻa nei ka hopena nui i nā kaiāulu i hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka hoʻemi ʻana.
"ʻAʻohe kālā o ko mākou kūlanakauhale no nā lāʻau. Loaʻa iā mākou kekahi o ka maikaʻi maikaʻi loa o ka ea ma ka ʻāina a eia mākou i makemake nui i nā kumulāʻau e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka ea, "wahi a Karen Maroot, ka luna hoʻokele no Tree Fresno.
Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia nā hana a Tree Fresno e hoʻoponopono i kekahi o kēia mau pilikia me kahi haʻawina ARRA $130,000 no ke kanu ʻana i nā kumulāʻau 300 a hāʻawi i ka hoʻonaʻauao mālama lāʻau i nā kamaʻāina o Tarpey Village, kahi wahi i hui ʻole ʻia o Fresno County Island. E kōkua ka haʻawina i ka hui e hoʻopaʻa i ʻekolu kūlana a hilinaʻi nui i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā mea manawaleʻa kaiāulu. E hāʻawi ʻia nā mea hoʻolaha ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania, Sepania a me Hmong, nā ʻōlelo i hōʻike ʻia ma ka wahi o Tarpey Village.

Akā ʻo ke ʻano hana kaiāulu o ka pāhana - ke hana ikaika nei nā kamaʻāina i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ko lākou kaiāulu - ʻo ia ka mea hoihoi loa, wahi āna.
"Ua hauʻoli nā kamaʻāina," wahi āna. "Mahalo nui lākou no kēia manawa kūpono."
