In honor of Arbor Day, Andy Kaufman (TPSS) assisted a class of first- and second-graders to plant a hala tree on the UH campus; then, in honor of ‘Ohi‘a Lehua Day, he assisted a class of third- and fourth-graders to plant ‘ohi‘a trees on the Mid-Pacific campus.

Since new students face many challenges in their first year in college, the Academic and Student Affairs Office has held an event nearly every month this academic year to support them. Congratulations to CTAHR's new students as they complete their first year!

Cooperative Extension proudly supported O‘ahu RC&D’s Parade of Farms, held at the Waimanalo Research Station on May 5. Faculty and staff from CTAHR helped to coordinate the event, and many CTAHR programs were in attendance to sustain O‘ahu RC&D and the Waimanalo community.

The last TPSS seminar of the semester will take place at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, May 4, when Alyssa Cho from the Komohana Research and Extension Center will present on “Field-Based Macadamia Research in Hawai‘i.” Come hear her in St. John 011, or join in remotely via Zoom.

The O‘ahu Research and Conservation Development Council’s third annual Parade of Farms, hosted at the Waimanalo Research Station, will showcase farms and agriculture-related businesses in Waimanalo this Saturday, but recent storms have necessitated some changes in the tours.
