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.
