Subject: Testimony in Support of Collaborative BioCultural Stewardship in the General Plan 2045

Aloha,
I am a resident of Volcano, Hawaii, 96785 zip code. I am extremely interested in adding
additional protections for our native Ohi'a forest, which is being decimated by unpermitted
grubbing and grading, feral ungulates, ROD and invasive species. We need much stronger
ordinances and building codes at the County level to protect this natural resource for the native
wildlife, watershed, and economic viability of our community. I support the Collaborative
Biocultural Stewardship in the General Plan 2045, and strengthening of the current ordinances
going forward. In addition, there needs to be a facilitation of property tax incentives to the
lowest level for small size lot owners ( 9000 SQ FT)wishing to put their lots into Native Ohi'a
Forest conservation.
Mahalo,
Sherrie Galdeira
