The bamboo harvest made woodchips for compost & biochar. Biochar provides a home for microbes and nutrients, reducing drought stress. This biochar will be used for a CIG project w/ HIPAg for polycultural production taro (kalo), sweet potato (uala), and banana (mai’a).

Some of these bamboo are 80 feet tall!

We harvested this clumping bamboo to produce biochar & compost inputs advancing crop production on farms on Big Island. Bamboo sequesters high levels of carbon but are non-invasive here, making them a great choice for biomass production for regenerative ag. inputs

Infiltration tests are an important field method to understand the ability of local soils to adequately dispose of treated water. Staff are in the field here taking measurements.

Amazing agroforestry! These multi-story crops are growing food & habitat. Native Hawaiian varieties of taro (kalo), sweet potato (uala) & banana (mai’a) are thriving in these plots. Growing companion species helps soil health and sustains consistent crop yields

People are a big responsibility! You have to walk them all the time to make sure they get their sniffs and steps in! This is how the pup celebrates her healthy holidays - what's your tradition? Tag us for a chance to win prizes!

Shop for the Planet! This season, give back to the earth. Consider a donation to a nonprofit that does good work. (If you’re searching for inspiration we have some ideas - Clean Water… Sustainable Agriculture… Healthy Watersheds… :) https://t.co/XQUxur8nLw

It's just that simple! Tackling big challenges with collaboration and nature-based solutions.

‘Tis the season for citizen science! Get outside, enjoy time away from the big and small screens. Take your family, take a friend, take the pup, and go enjoy the big blue sky - Bonus points if you help the earth along the way! The free Merlin birding app is a staff favorite!

In 2025, we constructed projects provisioning clean water from wastewater using nature-based engineering and building food sovereignty through regenerative agriculture. Here's where we worked this year! Read the report: https://t.co/SCkOEHlRhC
