Kauaʻi Lands & Management
The Division of Forestry and Wildlife manages a wide variety of lands on behalf of the public. You can learn about the lands we manage on Kauaʻi by exploring the links below to Kauaʻi Forest Reserves, Natural Area Reserves, and Wildlife Sanctuaries. Or, explore the webmap below to find reserves, trails, and campsites near you. If you click on a reserve, trail, or campsite in the webmap, further information will show up in a pop-up box, including links to additional webpages if available.
If you are interested in the management strategies Forestry & Wildlife utilizes, we provide detailed information on our statewide Lands & Management Classifications page. Forestry & Wildlife staff have developed a set of classifications wherein lands can identified as high (1) to low (4) priority for different management activities or types, including conservation management, forest products management, hunting management, recreation management, and vegetation resource management. A web map on that page will allow users to zoom into their island or area of interest and see how different areas have been classified.
