On April 14, a group of 20 volunteers of various ages pulled on work gloves and wielded trowels to remove weeds and plant seedlings at the Pana‘ewa Zoo Discovery Forest.
The volunteers included a group of Kiwanis Kids, who are planning to muster a contingent for a quarterly workday at the educational forest project supported by the Hawaii Forest Industry Association.
During the weeding and planting, the Kiwanis Kids and their fellow volunteers learned about the significance of Hawaiian plants from J.B. Friday of the University of Hawaii Cooperative Extension Service.
This statewide ag extension service is administered by the UH College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, which is headquartered at the Manoa campus, with several Big Island facilities, including its main Hawaii Island center on Komohana Street in Hilo.
