Background: Since the beginning of 2016, OHA has been working with its contractor, Forest Solutions Inc., and a number of subcontractors, to draft a Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) for Wao Kele o Puna. A substantial component to the planning process has been community engagement, which, so far, has been conducted through ethnohistorical interviews and a community advisory council, called the ‘Aha Kūkākūkā. Before a first draft is produced, OHA seeks to gather additional community input through a public community meeting.
Contact: Any questions regarding this community meeting or the general planning process can be directed to ‘Olu Campbell at 808-594-1848, or at oluc@oha.org.
