The Kona Soil and Water Conservation District
Has Teamed with the The Konawaena Leo Club.

The Konawaena Leo Club has partnered with the Kona Soil and Water Conservation District to raise awareness of soil conservation within the community.

As part of the project, the Konawaena Leo Club has done several tree plantings this school year and has put together packets on the five main concerns for soil conservation. The packets have been mailed out to 100 businesses, including local coffee farms, to educate private landowners.

“We thought it would be good to preserve the land we have for future generations,” Konawaena Leo Club president Megan Baguso said. “And with all the issues like climate change and everything, I felt like we could help with that.”

Kona Soil and Water Conservation District board member Jeff Knowles visited with the Konawaena Leo Club in June to give a presentation on soil conservation, and the Konawaena Leo Club was quick to jump on board with the mission.

Join Jeff Knowles October 24th for a Zoom meeting to discuss the mission and upcoming events. Click below for a recording of the Zoom meeting.
