Five students from the Biology 350 class had the opportunity to fly via helicopter up to the Koloa mountain range with David Bybee, associate professor and director of sustainability for BYU–Hawaii. Bybee explained their goal was to collect data as part of a research project initiated by U.S. Army biologists with the construction of an exclusion fence in 2011 and BYUH became involved with the project in 2012.
Elder Steven Olsen said the student volunteers who helped with Food Fest, accomplishing tasks such as taking care of garbage, cleaning and running the supply tent from which the food booths get napkins, silverware and other essentials, worked from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Sterling Kerr, a senior biology major from Utah and the teaching assistant for the animal behavior class, said crickets are “one of the only animals on the earth actively going through an evolutionary process [people] can see with [their] eyes. … They’re a small cog in a really big wheel of things we don’t get to see every day.”

Farmers and researchers are using oysters in a more than 800-year-old loko ia, or fishpond, on Kualoa Ranch, blending Hawaiian heritage and today’s innovation to overcome problems pre-contact Hawaiian farmers did not have to face. The problems include not having enough fish to eat pond algae and a lack of banana and coconut leaves to help grow taro better by keeping down weeds, they said.
Longo Huhane is just one of the students who helped bring the Polynesian Cultural Center to the Hawaii National Guard Youth Challenge Academy cadets, who are referred to as “at-promise” youth as opposed to “at-risk” youth.
