Koa Stewardship: Hamakua, Hilo and Ka'u
Koa is alive and well in the Big Island districts of Hamakua, North and South Hilo, Puna, and Ka 'u-but barely. We often expect to find koa in a pristine native forest setting, but frequently it can also be found invading fields or in mixed stands with other trees, including non-natives. For this presentation, one federal, three state, and seven private land managers and/or owners were interviewed about their koa management strategies. Interviews were limited to those with 10 or more acres. Not all landowners could be contacted; therefore the following information is conservative in its estimations.
