Pūpūkea Forest Reserve consists of approximately 782 acres of public land located on the north shore of Oʻahu. The reserve was established by Governor’s Proclamation in 1910 to conserve and protect the remaining forest and increase local water supply. Several non-native timber plantations were established in the reserve as part of a reforestation effort in the early 1900’s . Today, vegetation is dominated by non-native forest, although some native forest and native shrublands still exist in the southeast portion of the reserve.
Game mammal and Game bird hunting opportunities are offered on the six major islands in the State of Hawai‘i: (Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, Maui, Moloka‘i, Lana‘i and the big island of Hawai‘i). Each of these islands has one or more State-designated public hunting areas (called Hunting Units), which are open for hunting at certain times during each year. Game mammal and game bird hunting opportunities are also available on private lands as well. Occasionally, the Division of Forestry & Wildlife (DOFAW) may modify or cancel a hunting season in a particular area to adjust for changes in weather conditions or animal populations.
