How well do you know your neighbors? Not the people who live next door, but the plants that live in our yards, our mountains, and along our streams and coastlines? Tropical plants are some of the most threatened in the world and as good neighbors, it’s our responsibility to get to know and introduce it to others who will care for and protect it too. Check out our featured resources below to explore the plants that make tropical ecosystems across Hawaii and Florida unique.
This Series provides students and families with fun and inspirational videos and activities exploring the plants, cultural resources, and people that make Hawaii special.
