Scouts honor environment by planting native seedlings

Anne Barr

Boy Scout Troop 135

Boy Scout Troop 135 spent the day camping, hiking and planting, Sept. 16 The Hickam-based Troop 135 supported a conservation project in the Pahole Natural Area Reserve under the direc- tion of Jenna Masters from the Division of For- estry and Wildlife. Boy Scouts of America Troop 135 is charted by VFW Post 970, and its 52 youth members are from active duty fami- lies and . There were 23 scouts from the troop who spent the weekend camp- ing at Peacock Flats on the northern end of the Waianae Mountain Range. They hiked into the Pahole Natural Area Re- serve and planted 150 native seedlings to help protect these rare spec- imens and promote ero- sion control. The seedlings that the boys planted were grown from seeds col- lected from the reserve’s rare plants and nur- tured by a botanical gar- den that specializes in raising Hawaiian plants until they are ready to be transplanted. Being a military troop, many of the scouts will only have two or three years on the island. Conservation is a big part of the scout- ing skills these boys will learn, and they are participating in projects that keep the island of Oahu healthy and its native plants growing.

When sober, the children’s brilliant and charismatic father captured their imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Meanwhile, their mother abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want to take on the work of raising a family.
