HONOLULU WATERSHED PLANTING. 



The work connected with the planting of the waste land lying 

 between Round Top hill and Tantalus forest is progressing, and 

 a large number of holes for trees have been dug. All of the area 

 first planted has been gone over and the trees cleared of weeds. 

 The total number of trees planted during the month amounted 

 to 711 ( koa 349 and kukui 362). More planting will be done 

 during October. 



TREE PLANTING. 



Mokma Forest Reserve, Kauai. 



From the 24th to the 27th of September the writer was away 

 on a trip to Kauai. The trip was made for the purpose of com- 

 pleting arrangements in regard to the planting of tree seed on the 

 IMoloaa forest reserve. An examination of the tract was made 

 and instructions given to Mr. Kaina D. Lovell, who is to have 

 charge of the planting, how to proceed with the work. A com- 

 mencement will be made on October 1 with four men. The 

 conditions at this time are very favorable to the direct planting 

 of seed. The amount to be spent on this work is not to exceed 

 $500. 



Koolau Forest Reserve, Maui. 



Arrangements have been completed with Air. \V. A. Ander- 

 son, Nahiku, in regard to the planting of a double line of trees 

 along the boundary fence between the Koolau forest reserve and 

 the Xahiku homesteads. Trees for the purpose will be for- 

 warded from our nursery here about the end of October. The 

 amount to be spent is not to exceed $200. 



JJ'aihoii Spring Forest Reserve, A'ear Oliiida, Maui. 



The tree planting on the reserve will be in charge of Mr. L. 

 von Tempsky, who has agreed to transplant and plant out the 

 seedlings. The trees will be shipped from the nursery here in 

 seed boxes to Paia. From Paia Mr. von Tempsky will cart 

 them to the reserve. The trees will be forwarded about the be- 

 ginning of November. The amount to be spent is not to exceed 

 $200. 



Pupukea Forest Reserve. Oa/iu. 



Another tree-planting proposition which is pending and will be 

 arranged for during October is the Pupukea forest reserve, on 

 this island. The writer will make a trip to Pupukea in a few 

 days and draw up a planting plan for the reserve, for which an 

 allotment of $200 has been made.
