They walk the line

Workers examine an area burned by fire near Spencer Beach Park, Hawaii

Recently, I went down to Spencer Beach Park for a morning walk. The area south of the park was torched by a wildfire back in August of 2023, which I wrote about here. Since then the power lines have been restored and a good deal of clearing has been going on.

In that previous post, many burned trees are visible, but these have now been removed, as has most everything else. It looks like the area is getting a new start, but what that start is, I don’t know.

On this day, what captured my attention was this group of workers on the project. I first saw them heading south along the coast, then picked them up again on their return journey. Much of that time, they moved forward steadily, and evenly spaced. It was a Monday, so maybe they were walking through the areas they’d be working on, and discussing what they’d be doing.

      No, definitely not. It was clearly a work party. Every so often they’d stop and discuss something before the line reestablished itself and moved on.

    A sad state after a fire.
    I don’t know about there but my place has still some patches of burnt land.
    The majority of the vegetation has bounced back but a lot of the original species lost to fire won’t be back for at least 20 years if no fires are in that area.

      The burnt land can take ages to be fully restored, especially in a dry area like this one is. On the plus side, they’re likely working on ways to reestablish native species here, which would be a great move.
