The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has reorganized the Harold L. Lyon Arboretum, integrating it into the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience (CTAHR). This strategic move aims to enhance research collaborations and educational opportunities for students while maintaining the arboretum's commitment to conserving Hawaiʻi’s unique natural environment. The arboretum is renowned for housing the world's largest collection of endangered native Hawaiian plants. According to UH Mānoa Interim Provost Vassilis L. Syrmos, this reorganization signifies a commitment to a resilient future for the arboretum. CTAHR Dean Parwinder Grewal emphasized that the arboretum's botanical resources will enrich CTAHR's research and teaching excellence. The integration is designed to align conservation, cultivation, and education efforts at the arboretum with CTAHR's existing operations. Importantly, the transition is cost-neutral, ensuring that current employees will remain in their positions, thereby guaranteeing continuity of service for the public and the university community.
