Astronomy in Hawaii under threat?

[TomK]

This seems to be a bit strange given one of the reasons that OMKM, now CMS, was considered a bad steward of Mauna Kea, hence bill 2024. Now we get this:

UH Hilo honored for stewardship of Maunakea

"The Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce honored the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Center for Maunakea Stewardship (CMS) with its 2022 Pūalu Award for Community Education on Friday, June 24. The award honors organizations that promote and support education and enrichment programs that develop personal skills and lifelong learning. CMS was commended for its innovative efforts in native plant restoration and invasive species management.

“We are moved by this acknowledgement which helps shine a spotlight on our dedicated CMS staff members who pour their hearts into stewarding these precious lands,” said Nahua Guilloz, director of stewardship at CMS. “Enriching the ecosystem on the mauna helps to bridge other aspects of the project together that opens the door to educating and connecting with all who come to Maunakea.”"
