Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – August 22, 2017 <br />through this tag and all these other things that make up for it – anyway, we’re <br />going beyond our time here and I appreciate that. Yes, sir? <br /> <br />TS: Could we use that PR money for irrigation then – we have our Pittman- <br />Robinson Funds – could that be used for irrigation in the areas for hunting? <br />The water’s not going towards the game – it could be used to help create <br />cover or find more water cause, I mean, we really need there... <br /> <br />KS: I would have to ask our official wildlife counterparts but that probably, I mean, <br />we do a little bit of that already – we have our small exclosures that we’re <br />doing cover plots and we use federal funding for those with the kukui in <br />Puuanahulu, I mean, they’re small but, yeah, we already used some federal <br />funding for that so a precedent has already been set... <br /> <br />TL: What about state funding for irrigation? <br /> <br />KS: Yeah, I don’t see a problem... <br /> <br />TN: Would it be possible that we have an opportunity to reseed the Puuanahulu <br />area and from the last time I’ve been there to date wondering if we could look <br />at it with our own eyes and see what progress has been done in that area. <br />Something to ponder about if everybody on board is curious enough to take a <br />trip up there. <br /> <br />DY: No, this has nothing to do with wildlife. You know, I have this on-going interest <br />because I grew up in that area in Kona and I was always told that the wiliwili <br />tree groves in Puuwaawaa area are the only native wiliwili grove in existence. <br />I’ve been noticing that those trees are kinda disappearing, yeah, along the <br />road, so I’m wondering what’s happening with those things. <br /> <br />KS: Yeah. There was an insect...Yeah, some wasp or something that’s been <br />attacking it across the state not just there. <br /> <br />TN: And there was some that was removed to be planted down Four Seasons <br />next to the rich houses. <br /> <br />KS: That’s different kind wildlife that... <br /> <br />DY: So Teresa, maybe we should reclaim those. I’m only kidding. <br /> <br />TN: If you have thousands of dollars they pay for it. <br /> <br />DY: No, you should claim them as some kind of native Hawaiian relic or <br />something, I don’t know. <br /> <br />KS: OK. I’m gonna run away. <br />28 <br /> <br /> <br />
