Disassembly of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory’s 34-foot diameter telescope on Maunakea began the week of August 28.
As invasive weeds are systematically pulled and hauled off the slopes of Maunakea, silversword are outplanted as part of restoration efforts on the mauna.
The decommissioning of Hōkū Kea is tentatively scheduled to begin in late 2023 and take about five months to complete.
Silversword seeds first sown at UH Hilo’s Maunakea Stewardship Center greenhouse in February 2022 have sprouted into more than 100 seedlings that are now three to seven inches tall.
UH Hilo’s Center for Maunakea Stewardship is growing out the seedlings for reintroduction sites across Maunakea, sites where previous plantings have been successful and that offer protection from hooved animals.
Since 2012, “Malama Maunakea Volunteer Weed Pull” events have helped protect resources on Maunakea.
This year, survey teams find a more than seven-fold increase in wēkiu bugs on Maunakea compared to recent surveys. The increased abundance could be a function of increased precipitation on the mountain this past year.
