The state Department of Land and Natural Resources is proposing to add 8,100 acres to the Forest Reserve System, including 3,433 acres on the north slopes of Haleakala and 733 acres on Molokai.
The Forest Reserve System, which is managed by the DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife, represents the state’s largest public forest lands, offering benefits that include watershed restoration, native habitat management, recreation and hunting.
State officials are looking to add four tracts of land totaling roughly 8,100 acres while withdrawing 2.7 acres, according to a news release Wednesday. The proposed additions include:
⢠3,716 acres in the back of Waimea Valley on Oahu’s North Shore acquired by the state in 2019 from the Dole corporation to add to the Pupukea-Paumalu Forest Reserve. The property contains high priority watersheds and native ecosystems that provide habitat for endangered wildlife and plants.
