Kona has been working on a plan to enhance recreational opportunities while protecting natural historical resources. In 2023, they hired a consulting group, and they are starting public hearings to promote the plan. There will be one tomorrow. The Plan is available for you to read at https:arc.is/Ora550. It has a "corporate" style format, so you have to slog through a lot of text to find what you are looking for. The meeting should be enlightening.

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory field crews have been studying what they call "ooze-outs". For those interested in our fiery volcano, this will be an engaging read.

Our only Big Island zoo is located in Hilo. I took my kids there decades ago, and they loved it. It was always free and always on the verge of closing due to a lack of funds. They did have a "donation pail" at the entrance, and hopefully, they still have that pail. They have finally begun collecting an entrance fee. They are nominal, but it's a start. Take your kids and grandkids. It's a fun side trip when you visit Hilo.
