MAKAW^W FOREST RESERVE— MAUI: 



At the meeting held on July 29, 1907, the Board of Agriculture 

 and Forestry approved the project to extend the area of the 

 Koolau (Maui) Forest Reserve by the creation of an additional 

 reserve of 1976 acres to be known as the Makawao Forest Re- 

 serve. 



The section included' is a part of the government land of Ma- 

 kawao, some times called the Haleakala Tract, lying on the north- 

 western slope of Mount Haleakala. It has always been under a 

 forest cover, its western limit, the Kahakapao Gulch, having for 

 many years been the dividing line betw^een forest and grazing land. 

 The land is unleased and can be definitely set apart at once. 



In accordance with the usual custom there are published here- 

 with the reports of the Committee on Forestry and of the Super- 

 intendent of Forestry upon the proposed reserve, with the resolu- 

 tion adopted by the Board" in regard thereto.
