Last week, nearly 900 visitors came to Experience PTA Day at Pōhakuloa Training Area. During the event they learned about PTA’s environmental program and were given the opportunity to talk to archeologists, biologists and others about what PTA does to protect endangered and rare plants and animals.

Visitors also were able to watch U.S. Army helicopters and U.S. Marine aircraft flyovers, and sit in pilot seats, walk through aircrafts and talk to crew members.

Through hands-on activities and more, attendees also learned about PTA’s recycling program which diverts more than 50% of waste from landfills; 500,000+ pounds in 2022.
