Save Seeds, Save Our Future
Virtual Workshop for K-12 Educators

“Every seed has a story.”
Tyler Levine

In this workshop, Hawai‘i teachers will learn and share seed saving practices that preserve the islands’ biodiversity, and encourage self-sufficiency for future generations.

Join us to be inspired and learn from passionate keiki o ka ‘āina barely older than your own students!

Presenter Tyler Levine, a high school junior and Founder of Seeds of Honua, and Contributor Keoni Lorenzo, a UH Mānoa student, represent a generation of fearless agents of change dedicated to securing an ecologically sustainable future for our world.

Debbie Millikan, ‘Iolani School Sustainability Specialist, will facilitate teacher discussion on successfully integrating these hands-on experiences into your classroom and school programs.
