These are just some of the ecological benefits this land can offer, <br />benefits that will disappear forever if the land is developed. <br />BOARD OF DIRECTORS <br />JEFF KNOWLES $ GREG HENDRICKSON $ KELI`IKANOE MAHI $ STEVE FOELBER $ MARK PETERSEN <br />F IND PROVIDED BY COUNTY OF HAWAI'J DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOP <br />
