Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan insulare (several founders, not considered PEP anymore), Sicyos macrophylla (one founder); Sanicula sandwicensis (three founders); Cyanea marksii (one founder); Cyanea stichtophylla (two founders); Phyllostegia ambigua (one founder); Phyllostegia spp. (one founder); Stenogyne macrantha (one founder); Rubus macraei (one founder); and Fragaria chiloensis ssp. sandwicensis (three founders). No outplantings have occurred at KFU because it has not been fenced. Plants that were collected and matured to outplanting sizes have been outplanted in State Natural Area Reserve fenced exclosures in nearby south Kona. Other PEP species occur on lands adjacent to the Kona Forest Unit and have been collected for future outplantings in the KFU once it is protected by fencing and animals have been removed. The KFU is also considered potential habitat for listed Cyanea hamatiflora carlsonii and is critical habitat for listed Drosophila. Four bird transects have also been established and bird surveys are conducted intermittently. The U.S. Geological Survey has been conducting basic cave reconnaissance related to lava tubes and skylights. Additional surveys that have been made of the area include archaeological, rare plant, ‘io, and weed surveys. There is also an access road easement on private lands from the highway to the Refuge that requires periodic repairs (Figure 5-3). Though no aquatic habitats occur at KFU, the area is considered a groundwater recharge area and critical for this drought prone region of the island. The current budget (FY2010) for Hakalau Forest NWR is $1,168,098. This budget funds seven full time staff members (refuge manager, deputy refuge manager, maintenance supervisor, maintenance worker leader, wildlife biologist, horticulturalist, and administrative officer) as well as all operational needs. An additional six staff (field crew and administrative support positions) are all funded through soft monies (non-base funding). The following two tables are a chronological description of the acquisition history listing dates, tract numbers, acreage, expiration dates as applicable, and any specific relevant comments.
