some volunteers, maybe and work with the landowner that you can get in touch with us or something? Maybe the landowner is kind of holding back on us, doesn't want it right away or something. I don't know. Steven Bergfeld —Yeah, I'm not sure about that, but I would suggest if you are going to write a letter about the Akaka Falls one, that you just mention this one as well, and you would like to have an update and perhaps you can help in anyway. Abraham — Right ---Is this the same one that was the purchase through Finance Factors or you going to hit that one up in a little bit? Steven Bergfeld — This is actually one of the 4 identified accesses through Finance Factors parcels. That is why we originally started working to purchase the sliver of Makahanaloa so that we could get legal access through the Kawiki section of the forest reserve. That kind of blossom into buying the two big parcels, the 13,000 acres. I kind of say we are into that if no one has any more question. Abraham — You can move forward Steven. Steven Bergfeld — okay - Barbara can you put up, it doesn't matter which one, the CW Koa forest slide, 16 or 17, okay, thank you. This map shows, on the bottom of the map shows 11,000 acre parcel and the one on the top of the map is the Makahanaloa piece and that one is 1,735 acres. Total I think 13,029 acres that the Trust of Public Lands is working to try and purchase from Finance Factors. And the idea is, to add it to the forest reserve system. There is supposed to be 4 different access to through these two parcels and the Makahanaloa one, the one we talking about is the one that is a legal easement on the ground that I'm aware of. So, part of the process is trying to identifying and make sure accesses the other three access on the ground are legal accesses for the public and the State to reach proposed forest reserve addition. So the estimated purchase price is around 9.3 million, so far 4 million in US Forest Service Forest Legacy money, 2.2 million from the state legislation as a CIP purchase that they extended this session. We have $500,000 from National Fish and Wildlife Foundation that has been secured. We have secured so we have 6.5 million secured of the proposed out of the 9.3 million purchase price. The Trust for Public Lands is in negotiation with a private funder to come with the other 2.8 million. The State when we expect the purchase to be made can be paid the appraised value of the property. The 9.3 is just an estimate. I've been told that we should know by the end of July that the purchase will go
