Friends of Amy B.H.Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden <br /> collaborates with initiatives like KUPU's Green Jobs Youth Corps, offering internships that <br /> focus on forestry management, planning, and nursery operations. These programs are designed to <br /> inspire stewardship and promote sustainable practices, ensuring the transmission of knowledge to <br /> future generations. <br /> By integrating these initiatives, AGEG aims to protect and enhance the site's natural, cultural, <br /> and historical resources while fostering community engagement and educational outreach. <br /> 2. Goals and Objectives <br /> This Section summarizes the Goals and Objectives of the main projects of AGEG <br /> during 2025 and 2026. <br /> These are not intended to be detailed operational plans but rather an overview drawn <br /> from multiple projects; as such, as new projects may be approved, the details of <br /> activities and scheduling may change. <br /> Note on timing of execution of PONC projects: because of historical delays in the <br /> approval and contracting project of the county and the limitation of spending windows <br /> to one year, we have allocated PONC activities to the first six months of 2025 and <br /> 2026 only. This may be revised if the 2025 PONC grant is contracted sooner. <br /> PONC Budget Note: All PONC funds for 2025 and 2026 have been budgeted out in the <br /> attached 2025 and 2026 budgets. Where AGEG Staff are compensated for specific duties as per <br /> County Charter 10-16(h)(6), these amounts are calculated and shown as deriving from the PONC <br /> Projects for 2024 (approved) and 2025 (submitted). AGEG staff are also listed in the relevant <br /> project proposals, attached. <br /> 2.1 COUNTY PONC Stewardship Projects <br /> A) 2024 Grant (January — June 2025) <br /> 1.
