Trees beneficial to students
Advertiser Staff
Project Kanu, a native tree program, facilitated the planting of a milo tree at Kainalu Elementary School yesterday and at St. Anthony School today.
The primary goal of the project is to teach students to take an active role in environmental stewardship, said state Rep. Cynthia Thielen, R- 50th (Kailua, K�ne�ohe Bay). A secondary goal is to provide shade for keiki, as Hawai�i has a high incidence of skin cancer, said Thielen, project founder.
