The Teaching Change educational program was recently awarded two grants to continue running educational programs for students on Hawai‘i Island! Teaching Change is a collaborative partnership among NREM, USDA Forest Service, and the Akaka Foundation for Tropical Forests. It focuses on natural resource management in Hawai‘i, career-connected learning, and student-led citizen science.

If you haven’t been by lately, the COVID-19 Resources for Hawai‘i page compiled by Extension agent Nancy Ooki has added a whole lot of new resources that can help you…and your clients and stakeholders.

It’s broken up into categories such as Food Safety and Sourcing, Plants and Agriculture, Human Health, and more. Each is replete with critical, science-backed information that ranges from the Hawai‘i based, like local farm food-safety guidelines, to the global, like the CDC’s recommendations for keeping your pet safe from the virus.

Check it out, share the link with those it can help…and keep sending Nancy resources to add! Just email her at ooki@hawaii.edu.
