Entered NAP Program: FY 1992
TMK: 4-9-02-01
Kanepu`u Preserve is comprised of 590 acres in 7 disjunct units and represents the last major remnant of a dryland forest community that once covered large portions of Maui, Lana`i, Moloka`i, and Kaho`olawe. Ten rare plants, six of them federally listed, have been reported from the Preserve. Protection from axis deer, removal/control of non-native plant species and use of the Preserve as a focal point for dryland forest restoration research and study have been and will continue to be the primary management activities.

KA`U PRESERVE
Landowner: The Nature Conservancy, Ltd.
Managing Partner The Nature Conservancy
Entered NAP Program: FY 2006
TMK: 3-9-7-001:002, 003, 004, 007
This 3,500 acre Preserve on the southwest flank of Mauna Loa volcano on Hawai‘i island lies within the largest and most intact expanse of native forest in the state. More than 100,000 acres of koa and ‘ohi‘a forest have been protected from logging and major weed invasion by a combination of their remote location, rugged terrain, and conservation designation. The Ka`u forest serves as a vital watershed and provides habit for rare and endangered forest birds like the ‘akepa, ‘akiapola‘au, and Hawai‘i creeper. The region also provides potential habitat for the reintroduction of endangered species such as the ‘alala, or Hawaiian crow. Management goals on the Preserve include reducing feral ungulate damage, removing habitat-modifying weeds, preventing wildfire, and facilitating public access to the forest.
