In 1905 in the Territory of Hawai'i, Arbor Day was deemed to be the first Friday in November. To celebrate this year, Hawaiian Electric Co. is offering an Arbor Day tree giveaway at six sites Saturday across O'ahu. Last year, HECO volunteers distributed white hibiscus plants at the Kahe Power Plant. For a complete listing of sites and greenery to be given away, check www.arbordayhawaii.org; 543-4441.
