When do I collect?
Partly liveCollection timing is the most perishable knowledge in restoration: it lives in field notebooks and the memories of veteran collectors. This workflow assembles fruiting phenology per species from herbarium specimens (in partnership with the University of Hawaiʻi), structured field observations from PEPP and VINE crews, research publications, and community science, and turns it into a collection calendar anyone can read.
The phenology pipes, already laid
Working demonstratorThe shared database already carries phenology structures — accession records, a month-by-month table, and a collection-window function waiting on data. The funded work is the assembly: filling these pipes from herbarium sheets, field crews, and community science until the calendar below is real for every target species.
Counts connect at deploy with the shared project keys.
The collection calendar
Design previewPer-species fruiting windows, read at a glance, with every bar traced to its evidence — a herbarium sheet, a field observation, a paper. The rows below are illustrative; the funded work assembles the real record.
The knowledge layer
Working demonstratorThe network's document library — with semantic search and Hawaiian diacritic repair — runs today on laukahi.org. It's where the assembled phenology record, protocols, and published guidance will live, searchable by everyone.
