Volunteers help us to safely conduct our stream assessments. It means so much to us have a diverse group of adult learners who give their time and attention to our stream restoration mission, and are shining examples of college and career pathways in resource management for our younger students.
Mahalo nui to Kejty Fialová, a graduate student from the Czech Republic, studying environmental toxicology in aquatic habitats. This fall semester, she got a chance to learn about Hawaiian streams from our students, while sharing her own culture and expertise with them.
We were also fortunate to have UH Mānoa undergraduate and graduate students from Dr. Yin-Phan Tseng’s stream lab and Dr. Mehana Vaughn’s Kaiāulu-Collaborative Care and Management of Natural Resources course in the field with us supporting student learning.
