(HONOLULU) – Seven forestry projects have been selected by Kaulunani Urban and Community Forestry, a program of the DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW), to receive funds to strengthen community connections with trees. Funding from Kaulunani will support these projects on Kauaʻi, Maui, Oʻahu and Hawaiʻi Island over the next three years.

HONOLULU – The plan for a small group workday in the closed section of the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve known as Middle Ridge, grew into a larger volunteer event last Saturday for DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) staff. Thanks to community leaders Klayton Kubo and David Nixon, the collaboration served as a powerful example of how partnerships between the state and community can accomplish greater gains.

(HONOLULU) – The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation has announced a $644,758 grant to the Kaua‘i Forest Bird Recovery Project (KFBRP) to support on-the-ground efforts in its battle against avian malaria. The grant was awarded Tuesday.
