Directors: “This is one of the most innovative programs that The Outdoor Circle has worked Michael Moskowitz on in its 105 year history and we were delighted to work with Google to Elizabeth O’Sullivan collaborate on this. The project allowed us to capture incredible highlights of John-Carl Watson Hawaii’s unique environmental and scenic locations across the islands and allows people the ability to visit many different spectacular locations virtually. The BRANCHES project also underscores the need to preserve and protect these beautiful green Hawai‘i spaces highlighted by the trekker,” said Winston Welch, TOC’s executive Waimea director. “Our partnership with Google was made possible through a grant from Waikoloa Village the Hawaiian Electric Companies. TOC is grateful for the support of this project to further our organizational mission to advance protection of Hawaii’s unique O‘ahu natural and scenic beauty, advocate for responsible environmental stewardship, Lani-Kailua and promote sustainability in Hawaiʻi.” Kane‘ohe North Shore All of the images were captured by Myles Ritchie, TOC’s programs director, as East Honolulu well as TOC interns Ben Ritchie, Ireland Derby and Richard Jansen.

The device uses 15 mounted cameras to shoot 360-degree imagery every Kaua‘i 2.5 seconds. It is important to emphasize that the Trekker was not used at “secret” STAFF areas in order to preserve their current conditions and respect the wishes of those Winston Welch who live in these areas. In addition, all locations that were featured had the Executive Director required permits/permission obtained prior to the data being collected.

  • Photographing the Islands of Hawaii
    Molokai Sea Cliffs - Molokai, Hawaii Photographing the Islands of Hawaii by E.J. Peiker Introduction to the Hawaiian Islands The Hawaiian Islands are an archipelago of eight primary islands and many atolls that extend for 1600 miles in the central Pacific Ocean. The larger and inhabited islands are what we commonly refer to as Hawaii, the 50 th State of the United States of America. The main islands, from east to west, are comprised of the Island of Hawaii (also known as the Big Island), Maui, Kahoolawe, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau. Beyond Niihau to the west lie the atolls beginning with Kaula and extending to Kure Atoll in the west. Kure Atoll is the last place on Earth to change days and the last place on Earth to ring in the new year. The islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii (Big Island) are the most visited and developed with infrastructure equivalent to much of the civilized world. Molokai and Lanai have very limited accommodation options and infrastructure and have far fewer people. All six of these islands offer an abundance of photographic possibilities. Kahoolawe and Niihau are essentially off-limits. Kahoolawe was a Navy bombing range until recent years and has lots of unexploded ordinance. It is possible to go there as part of a restoration mission but one cannot go there as a photo destination. Niihau is reserved for the very few people of 100% Hawaiian origin and cannot be visited for photography if at all. Neither have any infrastructure. Kahoolawe is photographable from a distance from the southern shores of Maui and Niihau can be seen from the southwestern part of Kauai.

  • HAWAII National Park HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
    HAWAII National Park HAWAIIAN ISLANDS UNITED STATES RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION N AT IONAL PAR.K. SERIES n A 5 o The world-famed volcano of Kilauea, eight miles in circumference An Appreciation of the Hawaii National Park By E. M. NEWMAN, Traveler and Lecturer Written Especially for the United States Railroad Administration §HE FIRES of a visible inferno burning in the midst of an earthly paradise is a striking con­ trast, afforded only in the Hawaii National Park. It is a combination of all that is terrify­ ing and all that is beautiful, a blending of the awful with the magnificent. Lava-flows of centuries are piled high about a living volcano, which is set like a ruby in an emer­ ald bower of tropical grandeur. Picture a perfect May day, when glorious sunshine and smiling nature combine to make the heart glad; then multiply that day by three hundred and sixty-five and the result is the climate of Hawaii. Add to this the sweet odors, the luscious fruits, the luxuriant verdure, the flowers and colorful beauty of the tropics, and the Hawaii National Park becomes a dreamland that lingers in one's memory as long as memory survives. Pa ae three To the American People: Uncle Sam asks you to be his guest. He has prepared for you the choice places of this continent—places of grandeur, beauty and of wonder. He has built roads through the deep-cut canyons and beside happy streams, which will carry you into these places in comfort, and has provided lodgings and food in the most distant and inaccessible places that you might enjoy yourself and realize as little as possible the rigors of the pioneer traveler's life.

  • Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2015
    STATEWIDE COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN 2015 Department of Land & Natural Resources ii Hawai‘i Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2015 Update PREFACE The Hawai‘i State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2015 Update is prepared in conformance with a basic requirement to qualify for continuous receipt of federal grants for outdoor recreation projects under the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act, Public Law 88-758, as amended. Through this program, the State of Hawai‘i and its four counties have received more than $38 million in federal grants since inception of the program in 1964. The Department of Land and Natural Resources has the authority to represent and act for the State in dealing with the Secretary of the Interior for purposes of the LWCF Act of 1965, as amended, and has taken the lead in preparing this SCORP document with the participation of other state, federal, and county agencies, and members of the public. The SCORP represents a balanced program of acquiring, developing, conserving, using, and managing Hawai‘i’s recreation resources. This document employs Hawaiian words in lieu of English in those instances where the Hawaiian words are the predominant vernacular or when there is no English substitute. Upon a Hawaiian word’s first appearance in this plan, an explanation is provided. Every effort was made to correctly spell Hawaiian words and place names. As such, two diacritical marks, ‘okina (a glottal stop) and kahakō (macron) are used throughout this plan. The primary references for Hawaiian place names in this plan are the book Place Names of Hawai‘i (Pukui, 1974) and the Hawai‘i Board on Geographic Names (State of Hawai‘i Office of Planning, 2014).

  • The Entomology Branch of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture Has Maintained a Continuous Program of Beneficial Organism Introductions for Many Years
    Vol. XXII, No. 1, August, 1975 109 Introductions for Biological Control in Hawaii, 1973 H. K. Nakao, G. Y. Funasaki and C. J. Davis STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE HONOLULU, HAWAII The Entomology Branch of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture has maintained a continuous program of beneficial organism introductions for many years. This paper includes a list of beneficial insects introduced for biological control during 1973, and gives notes on the status of some pests and their purposely introduced enemies. Snail Pest Control Achatina fulica Bowdich (giant African snail). Giant African snail populations remained at low levels in former high density localities on Oahu and Maui. Efforts to eradicate or contain the snail continued on the islands of Kauai and Hawaii. On Kauai, metal- dehyde bait applications were made throughout the year in localized infestations at Poipu and Wahiawa. On Hawaii, a shipment of Gonaxis quadrilateralis (Preston) from Oahu was released along the perimeter of the snail infestation in Kahaluu (Kona) in January, and an aerial bait application was made covering 65 to 70 acres, in August. Galba viridis (Quoy & Gaimard) (liverfluke snail). No recoveries have been made of Sepedon plumbella Wiedemann, S. senex Wiedemann and S. n. sp., sciomyzids introduced from Southeast Asia in 1971 to aid in the control of Galba viridis, the intermediate host of cattle liverfluke. Populations of G. viridis, however, were reported at low levels on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii and this may, in part, be attributed to the predation of Sepedon sauteri Hendel and S. macropus Walker. Weed Pest Control Lantana camara var. aculeata L.
