Honolulu Zoo Peace Garden

AK, Damien Memorial, D22K

On October 21, the Damien Memorial Key Club helped out at the Honolulu Zoo. The members pulled weeds out of the Peace Garden, and cleaned up the dead leaves from the trees. They pulled the weeds so the plants would not be strangled by the weeds and weren’t competing for resources. In the end, members collected around a bag of weeds and dead foliage that needed to be removed. They also learned more about the plants that grow in the garden, from what the Native Hawaiians used for medicinal purposes and what were food staples on the islands at the time. The members had time to walk around the Zoo after they finished helping out weeding the garden. All the members enjoyed seeing the animals and took several pictures.
