  • Reviewing a management plan extension for an existing forest stewardship project in Volcano, Hawaiʻi (Matsunaga/Conant)

  • Receiving updates on two ongoing Forest Legacy projects in Hana, Maui and Kailua, Oʻahu
  • Updates on landowner cost-share payments supporting climate resilience and forest health practices
