New Program Tracks Hawaiian Hardwoods
A new tree-tracking system will allow investors to track the growth of hardwood seedlings planted on a 2,700-acre site on the Hamakua Coast in Hawaii.
"This high-tech program will give a level of comfort to forestry investors that has never been available before now," said Jeff Dunster, c.e.o. of Hawaiian Legacy Hardwoods. "We fully expect the rest of the industry to follow suit within the next 10 years."
HLH hopes to grow 1.3 million rare tropical hardwood trees, primarily koa, which are indigenous to Hawaii. The planting site was the personal property of King Kamehameha I and once supported a koa forest, which was nearly destroyed by clearcut harvesting and cattle grazing.
"We are reduc- ing global warming through carbon sequestration, while providing our investors the opportunity for substantial profits," said Dunster.
Each tree in the sustainable forestry project will receive a computer signature that will allow tracking of ownership, growth, maintenance, lumber-yield, and pedigree. Once the program is fully implemented, investors will be able to use programs such as Google Earth to pinpoint their own trees.
"Seeing the rows-upon-rows of growing koa seedlings is incredibly rewarding," said c.o.o. Darrell Fox. "I've been handson with this project every step of the way-from seed collection to final planting-and it's really gratifying to see all of the hard work and planning come to fruition."
