Need <br />The increased use by the public hunter coupled with the loss of public hunting lands within Maui County <br />has placed greater demand on the remaining public lands for hunting. One means of keeping up with the <br />per capita use of a given areas is by increasing the game bird species carrying capacity of the remaining <br />areas through habitat management and manipulation. <br />B. Objectives <br />• Annually clear and maintain 50-100 acres of brush and undesirable vegetation at the Kahakuloa <br />GMA and Kanaio GMA in order to improve and provide habitat for doves, francolins, quail, <br />chukar and pheasants. Bi-annually mow 1,000 acres of game bird habitat in unit 3 of the Lanai <br />CGMA, which will create desirable habitat for pheasants, turkeys, doves, and francolins. <br />• Increase game bird habitat by planting desirable vegetation that will serve both for foraging and <br />cover in the Kanaio GMA. <br />• Seed collection used to propagate plants for eventual outplanting. <br />C. Expected Results <br />• To provide an additional 600 hunter days and harvest of 750 game birds. <br />31 <br />
