NA PALI-KONA FOREST RESERVE— KAUAI. 



At a meeting of the Board of Agriculture and Forestry, held 

 on April 30th, 1907, the project to create a forest reserve on 

 the high plateau on the leeward side of Kauai, known as the 

 AVaimea Upland was approved. The proposed Na Pall- 

 Kona Forest Reserve contains a total area of 60,040 acres, 

 of which 40,650 acres is government land. The major part 

 of the government land (36,670 acres) is held under several 

 leases, each of which has some years yet to run. But under 

 the provisions of Act No. 4 of the recently enacted Session 

 Laws of 1907 this area can be set apart at once as a portion 

 of the reserve, subject to the rights existing under the leases. 

 The remainder of the government land (3980 acres) is un- 

 leased and can be fully reserved immediately. 



In accordance with the usual custom there are published 

 herewith the report of the Superintendent of Forestry upon 

 this proposed reserve and the resolution adopted by the Board 

 in regard thereto.
