POAMOHO
Public testimony sought on proposed reserve area

The state will hear testimony on the proposed Poamoho Natural Area Reserve at 6 p.m. tomorrow at the Kalanimoku state office building, 1151 Punchbowl St., conference room 132.

The proposed reserve is located at the 1,800-foot elevation in the 'Ewa Forest Reserve between the Poamoho and Schofield-Waikane trails.

It contains a native ecosystem with more than 25 rare and endangered plants, and 17 rare or endangered animals.

There are no immediate plans to change the public hiking/hunting access in the 'Ewa Forest Reserve or in the proposed reserve area.

Any person may testify or present information at the public hearing.
