Relevant Projects <br /> Over the years, PBR HAWAII has been fortunate to have provided our services to federal agencies, <br /> State of Hawai'i agencies, county agencies on all islands, and most large land owners and <br /> developers throughout the state. The following projects provide an example of our diverse <br /> planning experience. <br /> Honua`ula Forest Reserve Visitor Use Management Plan, Kona, Hawaii <br /> PBR HAWAII conducted the Honua'ula Forest Reserve Public Use Study, on the Hawaii Island, in <br /> support of a larger planning effort by the State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural <br /> Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) to develop the Honua'ula Forest Reserve <br /> Management Plan. The Honua'ula Forest Reserve, like many reserves within the DOFAW managed <br /> Forest Reserve System, was established as a public-private partnership to protect local forested <br /> lands. <br /> Historically, the majority of the reserve was landlocked and public access was granted only to <br /> those who received permission to traverse neighboring private properties. Due to a recent land <br /> acquisition that now connects most of the reserve to a major State highway, the reserve is more <br /> accessible to the public. To support existing demand for recreational space within the reserve and <br /> plan for the long-term sustainable management of uses into the future, DOFAW contracted PBR <br /> HAWAII to develop the Honua'ula Public Use Study which investigated publicly supported <br /> recreational opportunities and provided an analysis of the associated potential impacts to natural <br /> resources. The analysis was performed by integrating public use preference data into a natural <br /> resource planning framework developed by Federal agencies within the Interagency Visitor Use <br /> Management Council (IVUMC). <br /> PBR HAWAII was responsible for engaging " <br /> community members and key stakeholders in a " r'. <br /> manner that allowed for the integration of .. <br /> 7 <br /> public use preference data into a federal � at � ' " - '`, <br /> � r _.:t....., <br /> resp � f <br /> planning framework that systematically .. <br /> addresses public uses within a sensitive :" <br /> ecological system.
