DIVISION OF FORESTRY. 
Honolulu, Hawaii, August 23, 1910. 
Board of Agriculture and Forestry, Honolulu, Hawaii. 
Gentlemen : — I have the honor to submit as follows the re- 
port of the work of the Division of Forestry during the 
months of July and August, 1910: 
FOREST PLANTING PLANS. 
The work of the most far-reaching interest during this 
period is perhaps the preparation of planting plans for several 
large tracts of land on Hawaii and Lanai. From July 12 to 
July 23 the Superintendent of Forestry was at Waimea, 
South Kohala, Hawaii, working out on the ground in con- 
sultation with Mr. A. W. Carter, manager of the Parker 
Ranch, a comprehensive scheme for forest planting on the 
hills above V/aimea village, on the south slope of the Kohala 
mountain. For this work the Government has set apart the 
sum of $5,000, which has been met by an equal sum by the 
Ranch. Trees have already been started in the nursery at 
Waimea ; the planting out on the mountain will begin during 
the coming winter. 
On his return to Honolulu the Superintendent of Forestry 
drew up a detailed report of directions for planting, under 
which the work in the field will be carried out. 
In answer to an application of the Lanai Company for “a 
scheme of reforestation” for that island, the Superintendent of 
Forestry is leaving today for Lanai, where he wdll remain 
until about the end of this month, gathering data for the 
preparation of a report with definite recommendations cover- 
ing the extension of the native forest on the higher parts of 
that island and the planting of forest in other sections which 
it is the desire of the company to devote to wood production 
or which are in need of forest cover. The fact that companies 
of the standing of the Parker Ranch, the Lanai Company and 
the Molokai Ranch — for whom it will be remembered a plant- 
ing plan was drawn up in June — are going into forest plant- 
ing on an elaborate scale, is one of the most encouraging 
signs of the substantial progress that forestry is making in 
Hawaii.
