The Hawaii Island Palm Society is made up of people who simply love palms and strive to promote their use in private gardens and general landscape. As an affiliate of the International Palm Society, it is the club’s goal to perpetuate rare and endangered palms worldwide through the sharing of seeds and plants. The volunteer organization is celebrating its 43rd anniversary this year and continues to prosper with more than 280 memberships. Tours of private palm gardens each summer are one of the highlights on the club’s yearly calendar. HIPS also is involved in the planning, planting and maintaining of the palm tree collection at the Panaewa Rainforest Zoo and Gardens in Hilo. In 2016, the society added new signage to identify more than 100 species of palms at the zoo.
