World Soil Day - 5 December
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Hiroshi Suwa, so-called Hiro, due to illness. He attended COMLAND activities and many members remember his cheerful and friendly character, like his repeated shouting "Let's take a group photo" during excursions. He was also the leader of the COMLAND field trip in Japan in 2013.
