$45,000 in Maui grants helps cultural and environmental efforts

Two Maui groups will benefit from thousands of dollars in grant funding from the county for cultural and environmental conservation efforts.  The funds include $10,000 to Na Mamo O Mu’olea for stewardship and education projects in the remote East Maui region; and $35,000 to the Tri-Isle Resource Conservation and Development Council to be used in part for the Waikikena Farm and for a 5-day summit for agricultural leaders.  Maui Mayor Charmaine Tavares announced the award of funds yesterday.
