FINAL 2025 Stewardship Grant Application,Page 3 of 13 RESPONSES TO COMMISION QUESTIONS Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Maintenance Fund 1) Table E. Objective2. Denby Freeland will develop educational lessons specific to Mahukona. What are Denby Freeland's qualifications? Denby Freeland has been an educator for Hawaii Land Trust since 2019. She was promoted to Director of Aina Education in 2022 to support HILT educators at all 8 of our community preserves. Denby is a cultural practitioner, educator, and artist. She graduated from Punahou School and earned her bachelor's degree at the University of Washington, and a master's degree in education at Heritage College in Washington. Denby's 26-year career interweaves education, art, and environment. She has held positions at Hui Noeau Visual Arts Center, Hawaii Nature Center, and Hawaii Land Trust and has run her own consulting business educating disabled youth. 2) Why are the two largest TMKs (5-7-003:010 and 5-7-002:011) excluded from the grant request? That was unintentional. We intended to include the following TMKs: 357003010 357002011 357002027 357002036 357002037 357003001 357003002 357003003 357003007 357003008 357003018 Please pardon the error. 3) Table H.

The draft management plan and master plan are not yet ready for external review. Based on our current planning timeline, it would be ideal for HILT and Hawaii County to meet to review a draft around the second week of March 2025. While these are intended to be "living" documents that are updated on an ongoing basis as appropriate, we are aiming to complete the initial plans by the end of March, at which point a copy will be shared with the County and other project funders. 5) Please provide more specific information regarding "travel and meetings" expenses. We've requested $2,500 for travel and meetings. Denby Freeland and Scott Fisher live on Maui and must travel to Hawaii Island approximately 4 times each during the program period to guide and supervise our Mahukona Aina Steward and Mahukona Education Educator. We are estimating $150 per flight totaling $1,200. Rental cars are estimated at $75 per day totaling $600, and gas refills are estimated at $25 per trip totaling $200. The videographer for the educational video will have to fly to Kona from Molokai with at least four large carry-on cases for his equipment and rent a car. We've estimated $500 for this trip. 6) Section E on page 2 of the application needs to be completed. Please see the attached completed.
