New Fence Finally Going Up

This a very dense area of wild trees: Albezia, rogue Rudraksha trees and other nameless species that "grow like crazy" in our tropical weather.

After lots of work clearing a straight channel all the way from the river up to the highway, the fence is going in. Driving posts into this root bound earth is a challenge!

The monks have decades of experience putting in fences. Sadhaka Adinatha acquaints Jonathan Anderson with the fine art of installing an end brace.

The distance covered is just over 2,900 feet, over half a mile from river to highway.

For nearly two years the Siddhidata Kulam has been chipping away at the dense growth along the northwest border of our San Marga property that runs adjacent to the University of Hawaii Agriculture Research station. The fence line that was originally here was completely deteriorated and engulfed by the jungle decades ago. The property line was an open gateway for wild boar and possible vandals. Fortunately, we rarely have human intruders, but for the security of our property we needed to install a proper fence. Also, by law, to enforce a no-trepassing policy, you must have clearly visible property line boundaries. As it was, anyone wondering through that area would have no idea they had entered the San Marga land.
