Upper Mauka parcel above the Garden. Pig eradication will be an on-going issue, but <br /> the first step in solving the issue is appropriate fencing. <br /> The Friends Board of Directors and the many volunteer members who have kept <br /> the Garden going since January 2016 are thrilled to have this opportunity to apply for <br /> funding for the restorations and repairs listed above. We envision a time when we can <br /> have school children in Amy's old home learning about the history of the Hawaiian <br /> people who brought with them so many of the foods we still enjoy today. We envision <br /> scientists and students who can utilize the mapping and plant inventory system to help <br /> them understand relationships between different species and ecosystems. The GIS <br /> system will also be used in the future to continue mapping the archaeological <br /> excavations that will take place around the Garden. We look forward to the time when <br /> we can invite our local community and our non-resident visitors alike to learn about the <br /> historical portions of the Garden such as the Kona Field System and the Pa'ikapahu <br /> Heiau which are both listed on the State Historic Register. We hope to see hundreds of <br /> school children hiking the trails, participating in plant projects and enjoying our <br /> Community Forest. We anticipate hosting festivals, such as the Grow Hawaiian Festival <br /> held in February, where craftsman, artisans, chefs, weavers, dancers, musicians, and <br /> community farmers can come together to visit, learn and enjoy being a part of this great <br /> adventure we call the Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden. <br /> 10 <br />
