In preparation for the meetup, the group drafted a project scope document in early October and emailed it to Wally for his review. Communities and groups come to Wally all the time excited to start a limu restoration project in their own and his typical resonse is “if you can’t make the commitment, then don’t bother,” But after reading Waimānalo’s project scope, he deicded to take the meeting. At the meeting he brought fellow Ewa Limu Project pioneers, Pam and Dennis Fujii. With the blessing of the three, they decided to take Waimānalo under their wing and move forward with the project.
