PTA helps clean riverbed at Waimea Trails

U.S. Army Garrison Pohakuloa Training Area this week partnered with the nonprofit volunteer organization Waimea Trails &Greenways to clear debris from the riverbed at Waimea Trails.

Almost 40 soldiers from the 84th Engineer Command, based on Oahu, spent Sunday morning on this community service project.

Clemson Lam, with Waimea Trails &Greenways, said the amount of work the soldiers provided Sunday would have taken volunteers about two years to complete.

Soldiers gave up their free time after completing their training mission at PTA to support the debris removal effort.

The Army and PTA and routinely conduct community service projects such as cleaning up the Daniel K. Inouye Highway, beach cleanups and other projects.
