I'm raising a minimum of $3,000 to fund my thesis project investigating the benefits of native Koa reforestation for ranches on the island of Maui, Hawaii. My investigation will involve forage analysis of grasses growing under Koa trees, as well as an estimate of carbon sequestration of trees within the system. This project has the potential to encourage a more sustainable scenario for ranching in the Upcountry Maui community. Thank you for your support!
My name is Torey Jenkins. I was born and raised in Upcountry Maui, an area known for beautiful scenery and large areas devoted to cattle ranching. After learning about the deforestation and subsequent reforestation of many areas of Central America devoted to livestock, I was inspired to see if Hawaiian cattle ranches can do something similar for the long term environmental and economic viability of the island.
