Trip to Kokee
Did you know there are redwoods on the tropical island of Kauai? Some of us didn't either! Last retreat a few monks and task forcers elevated ourselves 4000 feet to Kokee State Park where a cooler dryer microclimate harbors thousands of redwood trees. We hiked along a somewhat hidden path around this landscape admiring the trees and flowers while enjoying fresh plums and berries from the plants.

It would be interesting to learn how the redwoods got there. What a nice hike!

They were planted in the 20s and 30s, but I don’t know by whom.

Here it is: The Kauai redwood trees were planted in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps to replace forests and control erosion. (Kauai Travel blog)
