CTAHR Cooperative Extension Service
Natural Resources

(Hawai‘i’s unique and precious tropical island environment and its broad biological,
physical, and social diversity enrich the lives of local residents and provide an
inviting setting that attracts visitors from all corners of the world. The sustainability
of natural resources, stability of agroecosystems, and quality of life of Hawai‘i’s
people are intrinsically dependent on the judicious use and management of our land
and other resources. This section provides information and links to CTAHR’s work
in natural resources such as forestry, agroforestry, the Renewable Resources Extension
Act program, and links to other sites.)
