About the Plan
The National Park Service (NPS) is in the earliest phase of developing a long-term management plan for Kauleolī, a 95-acre shoreline parcel in South Kona, Hawaiʻi Island, acquired by Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail. The plan will guide natural, cultural, and biocultural resource protection and establish appropriate uses for the unit, with an emphasis on recognizing and supporting the important connections of community to Kauleolī.

 
Description:
Why Attend
At this early stage, the NPS is seeking to learn from the community, including descendant ʻohana, kama'āina, and all those connected to Kauleolī, about her past, what she means today, and how she should be cared for in the future. Community knowledge, stories, and ideas will directly shape the plan before any alternatives are developed. Preliminary ideas have been offered to spark conversation, but the NPS is especially hoping to hear new ideas from the community about how to mālama Kauleolī together. The public comment period is open through May 15, 2026.

Meeting Format
The meeting will open with a brief presentation on the plan and the planning process, followed by an overview of how to submit comments on the project website, and a Q&A session. We hope you can join us!
