Hosted by the 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Campus Arboretum<\/a>, students, faculty, staff and the public were invited to a tree planting and mulching, where they added native flora to the palm collection at Hawaiʻi<\/span> Hall.<\/p>\n

Jenna Matsuyama, a junior from Las Vegas, Nevada, studying botany, dedicated time to take part in the Arbor Day festivities and help maintain the native plants near Hawaiʻi<\/span> Hall.<\/p>\n

“Coming to Hawaiʻi<\/span>, it\u2019s now a part of my duty to m\u0101lama ʻāina<\/span> (care for the land),” said Matsuyama. “There\u2019s no better way to spend my time than helping the community that I\u2019m attending school and learning from.”<\/p>\n

Following the tree planting, the 糖心视频<\/abbr> community was invited to Maile Way for a tree and plant adoption of more than 270 plants, from niu (coconut) to loulu (palms) and various citrus trees. Engagement with education booths were a prerequisite to selecting a free tree. Hawaiʻi<\/span> Department of Agriculture pest quarantine division, CRB<\/abbr> (Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle) Response Team, Oʻahu<\/span> Invasive Species Council helped to educate attendees about invasive plants and pests in Hawaiʻi<\/span>, as well as how to monitor and manage them.<\/p>\n

“Imagine the world without trees; imagine our campus without trees. Trees do so many things for us that we can\u2019t even imagine, every day,” said N\u014dweo Kai, 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Campus Arboretum curator. “Arbor Day is one of the few days that we get to focus on all that trees do for our planet and humanity and our campus.”<\/p>\n

The Campus Arboretum is one of 19 arboretums in Hawaiʻi<\/span> along with Lyon Arboretum<\/a>, another unit of 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa and one of the collaborators in this year\u2019s Arbor Day events.<\/p>\n

Kai added, “As one of the 662 ArbNet accredited arboretums worldwide<\/a>, the Campus Arboretum is committed to teaching our community and beyond about the care and considerations we have for our trees and plants.”<\/p>\n
