Welcome to Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge
At long last, Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge has a friends
group! Mahalo nui loa to the board members of the Friends of Hakalau
Forest (FOHF) for their organizational efforts and for enduring the
paperwork and meetings required for the setup. I have never seen folks
who are so quick to volunteer for jobs like compiling address lists,
taking minutes of board meetings and completing IRS forms. I would
also like to thank and welcome all of you who are receiving this first
e-newsletter. Most of your names came from lists of folks who have
already assisted the Refuge with tree planting, weed pulling, visitor
orientation and other services or through participation in recent
Open Houses. If you have not already sent in a FOHF membership
application form, please consider doing so, and encourage your friends
to do likewise.
Now the fun begins! There will be lots of opportunities for FOHF members
to use their skills, interests and motivation to restore native habitat
and to generate greater understanding and appreciation for the rain forest
community managed by the Refuge. In future newsletters, I hope to
highlight some of these opportunities and some of your accomplishments.
