Kahoolauwe Desert Isle Becomes Territorial Forest Reserve
Kahoollawe in Hawaii, about ten by six miles and 1425 feet high, was made a territorial forest reservation in 1910 to reclaim desertified terrain. Wild stock, especially goats, devastated higher turf. over 40 years extensive erosion leaves hard pan and few turf islets. Reclamation seems unlikely for the summit, but early gains occur on over two thirds of the area as 4,000 goats were killed in eight years. Native grasses and weeds thrive. algarroba or mesquite spreads, forming a forest of 18,000 acres to provide fuel, stock feed, and bee forage.
