Been to Kaua'i Lately?

[Mitzi M]

Yeah, I heard she was born in Honolulu. That's cool that she leases land to local farmers for cheap. I understand that now she has hired a botanist to help come up with a reforestation strategy. Like everything else, the story was probably sensationalized by the media, and there are likely some other people who share the blame for the native trees that were reportedly cut. I know very well that sometimes the best laid plans can be foiled by a careless bulldozer operator or a work crew that's not adequately informed about the project. The incident has meant some bad press for her to be sure, but the good side is that it has raised awareness about the need for careful project planning in order to protect native plants. And when I get back I'll be glad to let everyone know how things went.
