Ili retrospect, we considered most ofthese as stabilizing for access ,in(] reparation, We have been making such incremental repairs and, safety upgrades in good faith, under the assumption that the repairs being made did not trigger building permit requirements. If, on further consideration, it is determined that our interpretation is not correct and permits are required Ibi- some of the work conducted to conserve and stabilize the Amy Greenwell house, we would like to rectify the issue. At all times, and with County Funding support, we acted in good faith in our stewardship of the Garden property and its assets. 2.)

Me ka ha'a ha'a, For and on belialfol'the Friends of Amy B. H. Gremwell Ethnobotanical Garden LOU PLItZel EXCCUtive Director Friends of Amy B.H.Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden Business Plan (2025-2026) 1. Introduction Amy Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden (AGEG), managed by the Friends of Amy Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden, is a unique cultural and environmental asset located in Captain Cook, Hawai'i. As Hawai'i's only federally designated community forest, it plays a pivotal role in conserving the region's biocultural heritage and providing educational opportunities. This document outlines the goals, objectives, planned activities, and a detailed timeline for the Garden's operations during the 2025-2026 period. The Friends of Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden (AGEG) are undertaking an array of activities to strengthen its capacity as a living repository of Hawai`i's cultural, botanical, and environmental heritage. In planning, AGEG is prioritizing the development of a comprehensive Master Plan to integrate previous planning efforts, optimize the use of garden space, and reclaim underutilized areas. This plan will also strategize the restoration of exhibits and ensure the long- term sustainability of the Garden by engaging stakeholders in a participatory process. This foundational effort aligns the physical layout and resources of the Garden with its mission of preservation, education, and community engagement. In addition, a revision of AGEG's Community Forest Management Plan is expected in 2025. In the domain of Garden and Forest Management, AGEG is expanding its nursery capacity, including installing movable sheds and irrigation systems and conducting pest management. Focused on maintaining its extensive plant collections, the Garden is planting and propagating native and "canoe" species, revitalizing curated exhibits, and preserving archaeological sites. Labeling and mapping of plant collections are also a priority to enhance visitor experience and align with the Garden's educational objectives. Maintenance of the forest canopy ensures the safety and accessibility of the grounds, while controlled removal of invasive species protects biodiversity. For maintenance and infrastructure, the Garden is taking care of its facilities to support community activities and improve visitor experiences. Trails are being extended and surfaced following professional landscaping standards, with security enhancements such as new gates and cameras. Building repairs will ensure the safety of the Visitor Center, tool storage areas, greenhouses, and volunteer caretaker residence. These upgrades aim to create a safe, welcoming environment for both the local community and tourists, further supporting the Garden's role as a hub for education and cultural exchange. Finally, in education and workforce development, AGEG is relaunching and expanding its educational programs with a curriculum targeting school groups, community members, and tourists. Activities include hands-on cultural workshops, docent-led tours, and special events celebrating Hawaiian agroecological traditions. To bolster workforce development, the Garden 1 Friends of Amy B.H.Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden collaborates with initiatives like KUPU's Green Jobs Youth Corps, offering internships that focus on forestry management, planning, and nursery operations. These programs are designed to inspire stewardship and promote sustainable practices, ensuring the transmission of knowledge to future generations. By integrating these initiatives, AGEG aims to protect and enhance the site's natural, cultural, and historical resources while fostering community engagement and educational outreach. 2. Goals and Objectives This Section summarizes the Goals and Objectives of the main projects of AGEG during 2025 and 2026. These are not intended to be detailed operational plans but rather an overview drawn from multiple projects; as such, as new projects may be approved, the details of activities and scheduling may change. Note on timing of execution of PONC projects: because of historical delays in the approval and contracting project of the county and the limitation of spending windows to one year, we have allocated PONC activities to the first six months of 2025 and 2026 only. This may be revised if the 2025 PONC grant is contracted sooner. PONC Budget Note: All PONC funds for 2025 and 2026 have been budgeted out in the attached 2025 and 2026 budgets. Where AGEG Staff are compensated for specific duties as per County Charter 10-16(h)(6), these amounts are calculated and shown as deriving from the PONC Projects for 2024 (approved) and 2025 (submitted). AGEG staff are also listed in the relevant project proposals, attached. 2.1 COUNTY PONC Stewardship Projects A) 2024 Grant (January — June 2025) 1.

D. PROPOSAL AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION (Briefly describe the long-range goal(s) for the property and the objectives of your proposal for stewardship grant funding. See example in Instructions.) What is the long-range goal or vision for the property? Ka mlama ana i ka moomehehu. I mea a ola ai i kia mua aku. To preserve culture. So that there is life to come. The Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden(the Garden)is a true ethnobotanical garden with a scientific,cultural,and historical purpose,a curated collection of over 250 species of native,rare,endangered,and Polynesian-introduced plants.The restoration, preservation and maintenance of the Garden is core to our mission statement.The Garden provides essential programs that aid in community awareness and education of Hawaiian culture while maintaining a well-maintained garden for visitors to the island.The Garden has a history of producing and distributing thousands of native, rare,and endangered plants to numerous non-profit groups such as the Nature Conservancy's Kona Hema Preserve and to private landowners, resorts and commercial ventures as part of a multiyear effort to restore Hawaii Island habitats with native plants integral to Hawaiian history and culture. We are committed to the education of our community and visitors.This year we plan to relaunch and expand education and learning opportunities with resources for school children and adults and re-establish our visitor program and tours to enhance outreach and education through developed curriculums and practical experiences in the Garden. As part of the educational program,we plan to use ike Hawaii and art in developing intimate,on-the-ground and virtual experiences of the Garden with videos and storytelling. The Garden has always had a commitment to partner with our community,so they have a place to enjoy the outdoors.We'd like to expand our community outreach based on the successful,current programs of'ulu propagation and cultivating and harvesting our extensive kalo collection as indigenous food sources. Programs such as these need leadership and guidance to broaden and grow. Our signage helps visitors understand Hawaiian history how the people and plants got here,how these communities lived and thrived in such an isolated place,and how the Hawaiian people used the land and ocean to provide food,shelter,clothing,medicine,and tools. When fully staffed,the strategic plan for the Garden involves engaging at least 2,000 island youth in education,training,and workforce development and assisting adults in continuing education,cultural lectures,and workforce training. Now that Covid restrictions are lifted,the Garden is once again striving to be a community-centered site for workshops,festivals,educational events,school group visits and enjoyment of the natural world that makes Hawaii so special.

PERMITS/APPROVALS (See Instructions for examples of permits/approvals. Remember that it is the applicant's responsibility to comply with and secure all necessary approvals and permits from federal, state, and county agencies as required.) Do any of the proposed stewardship activities require any federal, state, or county permits or approvals? If yes, explain why. If not needed, explain why. Most of the Garden's requests for this 2024 grant are routine maintenance and stewardship projects, not needing any federal, state or county permits or approvals. Nursery sales of T&E (threatened and endangered) plants requires an annual updating and approval from State of Hawaii DLNR, with listing of each specific endangered plant we transfer for a fee (sell). No SMA permit is required for this project. The location of our project is not in the coastal zone or near the shoreline, and located well above at about 1500' elevation, in Kealakekua. FINAL 2024 Stewardship Grant Application,Pae 8 of 13 Friends of Amy B.H.Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden G. MANAGEMENT/PRESERVATION PLANS REVIEWED (See Instructions. Use additional pages as needed.) 1. Please elaborate on how the proposed project activities align with existing plans, if there are existing plans. The Garden has specific plans that need to be adhered to from Federal (U.S. Forestry), State, and County contracts and documents from when the Friends of Amy B.H. Greenwell Garden(the Friends) purchased the Garden in 2019. To maintain and keep up our plant collection and fulfil our mission of providing Hawaiian plants and educational events to the community and visitors, our Board, Garden Manager and Director are continually proposing events (eg. nursery plant sales, cultural workshops and events), and receiving requests for using the Garden. We are currently planning 2 festival events per year, quarterly plant sales, and hosting numerous community groups in the Garden, (such as the Scouts of America campouts). Archeological reports and studies over the years at the Garden are reviewed and consultants are contacted when relevant. Recently, a probable Hawaiian burial site has been found on our mauka parcel (TMK(3)8-2-013-043), and we are awaiting on a preliminary archeological report to be received and submitted to the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD)and the Hawaii Island Burial Council for further guidance on preservation of the interpreted burial site. The Garden is a living treasure, providing public access to part of Na Mala o Kona, the largest ancient dryland field system in Hawai'i, and conserving the only federally-designated Community Forest in Hawai'i. 2. If you are proposing to produce a management and/or preservation plan, please explain why such additional planning is needed. In 2019, after the Garden was purchased with Federal and State funding (USDA Community Forest and Open Spaces grant), a Community Forest Plan was developed in conjuction with the DLNR Leagacy Land Program, County Conservation Easement contracts. This plan is due to be updated every five years and a federally designated Community Forest grant has been recently applied for, with anticipated funding designated to do an updated forestry plan in 2024. At this time we assume this cost will be part of our "Applicant Share". Our Garden needs continual maintenance to keep it attractive and safe for our workers, volunteers, community individuals and groups, and visitors. Weekly planning is necessary by our Garden Manager to direct and oversee maintenance activities. Occasionally, specific planning is necessary for special events in the Garden, such as arranging for cultural and botanical practitioners for these events, and the set up of tents and other necessities for the event. Due to the heavy maintenance stewardship nature of this 2024 request, again, we consider time and money for this planning as part of our "Applicant Share". The Friends are continually working with our weekly Pure Kona Market, with updates to our agreement to ensure continuity for this market, that reaches out to thousands of local residents and visitors.

Brief history of the applicant organization. Include the date of incorporation as a non-profit organization. The site of the Garden was bequeathed to the B.P. Bishop Museum (the Museum) in 1974 following the death of Amy B.H. Greenwell. Over several decades, the Museum developed the site, but under financial strain, closed the Garden and put it up for sale in 2016. Advocates gathered and founded the Friends of Amy BH Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden, our community-based nonprofit and membership organization in 2016. After raising $1.4 M in private and public funds, the Friends, with the help of federal, state, county, nonprofit and private partners was able to purchase the 13.6-acre Garden in late 2019 from the Bishop Museum. Since purchasing the property, the Friend's Board, staff, contractors and volunteers have been revitalizing the Garden and its activities, including bringing the Garden back to a maintainable and sustainable garden, resurrecting the nursery, reparation and restoration of Amy Greenwell's original house and re-initiating community events, such as our annual Grow Hawaiian event and quarterly nursery sales. 2.

D. PROPOSAL AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION (Briefly describe the long-range goal(s) for the property and the objectives of your proposal for stewardship grant funding. See example in Instructions.) What is the long-range goal or vision for the property? Ka malama'ana i ka mo'omehehu. I mea a ola ai i keia mua aku. To preserve culture.So that there is life to come. The Amy B.H.Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden(the Garden)is a true ethnobotanical garden with a scientific,cultural,and historical purpose,a curated collection of over 250 species of native,rare,endangered,and Polynesian-introduced plants.The restoration, preservation and maintenance of the Garden is core to our mission statement.The Garden provides essential programs that aid in community awareness and education of Hawaiian culture while maintaining a well-maintained garden for visitors to the island.The Garden has a history of producing and distributing thousands of native,rare,and endangered plants to numerous non-profit groups such as the Nature Conservancy's Kona Hema Preserve and to private landowners,resorts and commercial ventures as part of a multiyear effort to restore Hawai'i Island habitats with native plants integral to Hawaiian history and culture. We are committed to the education of our community and visitors.This year we plan to relaunch and expand education and learning opportunities with resources for school children and adults and re-establish our visitor program and tours to enhance outreach and education through developed curriculums and practical experiences in the Garden. As part of the educational program,we plan to use'ike Hawai'i and art in developing intimate,on-the-ground and virtual experiences of the Garden with videos and storytelling. The Garden has always had a commitment to partner with our community,so they have a place to enjoy the outdoors.We'd like to expand our community outreach based on the successful,current programs of'ulu propagation and cultivating and harvesting our extensive kalo collection as indigenous food sources. Programs such as these need leadership and guidance to broaden and grow. Our signage helps visitors understand Hawaiian history—how the people and plants got here,how these communities lived and thrived in such an isolated place,and how the Hawaiian people used the land and ocean to provide food,shelter,clothing,medicine,and tools. When fully staffed,the strategic plan for the Garden involves engaging at least 2,000 island youth in education,training,and workforce development and assisting adults in continuing education,cultural lectures,and workforce training. Now that Covid restrictions are lifted,the Garden is once again striving to be a community-centered site for workshops,festivals,educational events,school group visits and enjoyment of the natural world that makes Hawai'i so special.

PERMITS/APPROVALS (See Instructions for examples of permits/approvals. Remember that it is the applicant's responsibility to comply with and secure all necessary approvals and permits from federal, state, and county agencies as required.) Do any of the proposed stewardship activities require any federal, state, or county permits or approvals? If yes, explain why. If not needed, explain why. Most of the Garden's requests for this 2024 grant are routine maintenance and stewardship projects, not needing any federal, state or county permits or approvals. Nursery sales of T&E (threatened and endangered) plants requires an annual updating and approval from State of Hawaii DLNR, with listing of each specific endangered plant we transfer for a fee (sell). No SMA permit is required for this project. The location of our project is not in the coastal zone or near the shoreline, and located well above at about 1500' elevation, in Kealakekua. FINAL 2025 Stewardship Grant Application,Pae 8 of 13 Friends of Amy B.H.Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden G. MANAGEMENT/PRESERVATION PLANS REVIEWED (See Instructions. Use additional pages as needed.) 1. Please elaborate on how the proposed project activities align with existing plans, if there are existing plans. The Garden has specific plans that need to be adhered to from Federal (U.S. Forestry), State, and County contracts and documents from when the Friends of Amy B.H. Greenwell Garden(the Friends) purchased the Garden in 2019. To maintain and keep up our plant collection and fulfil our mission of providing Hawaiian plants and educational events to the community and visitors, our Board, Garden Manager and Director are continually proposing events (eg. nursery plant sales, cultural workshops and events), and receiving requests for using the Garden. We are currently planning 2 festival events per year, quarterly plant sales, and hosting numerous community groups in the Garden, (such as the Scouts of America campouts). Archeological reports and studies over the years at the Garden are reviewed and consultants are contacted when relevant. Recently, a probable Hawaiian burial site has been found on our mauka parcel (TMK (3) 8-2-013-043), and we are awaiting on a preliminary archeological report to be received and submitted to the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) and the Hawai'i Island Burial Council for further guidance on preservation of the interpreted burial site. The Garden is a living treasure, providing public access to part of Naa Maala o Kona, the largest ancient dryland field system in Hawai'i, and conserving the only federally-designated Community Forest in Hawai'i. 2. If you are proposing to produce a management and/or preservation plan, please explain why such additional planning is needed. In 2019, after the Garden was purchased with Federal and State funding (USDA Community Forest and Open Spaces grant), a Community Forest Plan was developed in conjuction with the DLNR Leagacy Land Program, County Conservation Easement contracts. This plan is due to be updated every five years and a federally designated Community Forest grant has been recently applied for, with anticipated funding designated to do an updated forestry plan in 2024. At this time we assume this cost will be part of our "Applicant Share". Our Garden needs continual maintenance to keep it attractive and safe for our workers, volunteers, community individuals and groups, and visitors. Weekly planning is necessary by our Garden Manager to direct and oversee maintenance activities. Occasionally, specific planning is necessary for special events in the Garden, such as arranging for cultural and botanical practitioners for these events, and the set up of tents and other necessities for the event. Due to the heavy maintenance stewardship nature of this 2024 request, again, we consider time and money for this planning as part of our "Applicant Share". The Friends are continually working with our weekly Pure Kona Market, with updates to our agreement to ensure continuity for this market, that reaches out to thousands of local residents and visitors.

APPLICANT INFORMATION 1. Brief history of the applicant organization. Include the date of incorporation as a non-profit organization. The site of the Garden was bequeathed to the B.P. Bishop Museum (the Museum) in 1974 following the death of Amy B.H. Greenwell. Over several decades, the Museum developed the site, but under financial strain, closed the Garden and put it up for sale in 2016. Advocates gathered and founded the Friends of Amy BH Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden, our community-based nonprofit and membership organization in 2016. After raising $1.4 M in private and public funds, the Friends, with the help of federal, state, county, nonprofit and private partners was able to purchase the 13.6-acre Garden in late 2019 from the Bishop Museum. Since purchasing the property, the Friend's Board, staff, contractors and volunteers have been revitalizing the Garden and its activities, including bringing the Garden back to a maintainable and sustainable garden, resurrecting the nursery, reparation and restoration of Amy Greenwell's original house and re-initiating community events, such as our annual Grow Hawaiian event and quarterly nursery sales. 2.
