Waimea Valley's Audubon center to get roof repair
Advertiser Staff
Waimea Valley's Audubon center will be able to fix the kitchen roof because of a grant of $24,750 from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.The society said the Waimea Falls Grill, which operates the food service at Waimea Valley and caters various events, provides revenue to help support the center's nonprofit operations.
In June 2006, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs acquired title to Waimea Valley on O'ahu's North Shore to ensure the protection and preservation of the cultural and natural resources of this historic ahupua'a for Native Hawaiians, the entire Hawai'i community and others.
The Waimea Valley Audubon Center provides a wide range of environmental and cultural education programs to local residents and visitors to the valley. Audubon operates a national network of community-based nature centers and chapters, scientific and educational programs.
