Watershed Protection and Management

Hawai’i’s forested watersheds help collect rainwater/recharge our aquifers, provide a habitat for Hawai’i’s native flora and fauna, and help mitigate the effects of climate change. The Stewardship program works to control ecosystem altering weeds such as Albizia (Falcataria moluccana) and Mule’s foot fern (Angiopteris evecta) across the entire property. These targets are part of a Statewide control effort in watersheds across the island.
