The proposed improvement in the language of CA -i8 recognizes the reality that stewardship <br />organizations simply do not have the kind of consistent resources needed to steward <br />protected lands with volunteers over many decades, let alone centuries! without some of our <br />work being paid for by the County. But the opposite is also true - the proposed language also <br />gives the County flexibility, when times are tough and staffing is tight, to use non-profit <br />stewardship organizations to supplement and extend the work of paid staff. <br />We all have heard people say, "Why should the County acquire more land? It doesn't take <br />care of what it already has." The flexible approach contemplated by the proposed changes to <br />CA -i8 means that the County will have additional resources to bring to bear on stewarding its <br />land. We will deliver our protected lands to future generations in better condition for their <br />use and enjoyment. <br />Mahalo! <br />
