Kauleolī Unit Management Plan

Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail » Kauleolī Unit Management Plan » Document List

The National Park Service (NPS) invites your participation in a planning effort for Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail. The plan will focus on Kauleolī, a 95-acre shoreline parcel on the South Kona coast, acquired by the NPS in 2016 (63 acres) and in 2021 (32 contiguous acres).

To meet legal and policy requirements and fulfill its kuleana to Kauleolī, the NPS must develop a long-term management plan to guide natural, cultural and biocultural resource protection and establish appropriate uses. We have much to learn about Kauleolī and hope you can share what you know about her past, what has changed, and how she should be cared for in the future.

The Unit Management Plan (UMP) will identify a long-term management vision for Kauleolī and help managers make decisions about how to protect resources, what activities and experiences are desired and appropriate, and what facilities and infrastructure are needed to support natural and cultural resource protection, as well as community and visitor uses.

In the coming weeks, this site will be updated with information about public meetings and opportunities to provide comment.
