Volunteer Planting Day will run from 9 a.m. to noon on the Manoa campus.

Participants should bring garden gloves and small hand tools, and wear head cover and sunscreen.

The trees and brush will be planted in the Varsity Gate area, from King Street to the Dole Street dormitory complex area.

Volunteers should report to the guard shack near the Kahanamoku Pool no later than 8:30 a.m. Jan. 19. To register for the event, e-mail UHM landscaping manager Roxanne Adams at adamsrox@hawaii.edu.
