Volcanoes Institute unveils 2009 program
Advertiser Staff
The Friends of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, in partnership with Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, have announced the 2009 rollout of the Hawai'i Volcanoes Institute.
The Institute's series of programs are designed for both Island residents and visitors eager to learn more about Hawaii's geological, biological and cultural heritage. Institute learning adventures range from one- to several-day excursions and combine instruction with hands-on learning.
The classroom might be a crater's edge, rain forest or mountaintop.
On Feb. 7, Hawaii Volcanoes Institute will offer Holoholo Hualalai, an off-road journey with Hawaii Forest & Trail to the summit of Hualalai volcano — a remote and seldom explored area.
The Institute models itself on other well-known institutes including those at Yellowstone, Glacier, and Yosemite national parks.
To register for Holoholo Hualalai or any of the other Hawaii Volcanoes Institute 2009 programs, visit the Friends' Web site at www.FHVNP.org or call the Friends' office at 808-985-7373.
