LHF Lopiwa LLC, the tenant currently managing the eucalyptus logging operation on land owned by Kamehameha Schools on the Hamakua coast of Hawaii island, is giving up its lease. The business plan — to harvest the trees for paper production — didn’t work out as Lopiwa hoped.

Kamehameha Schools is weighing other diversified agriculture prospects for the land, formerly cultivated in sugar. This may show how difficult it is to find good replacement crops.

But it’s good news the landlord still experimenting with other uses.

More trees? Grazing?

It’s better than paving over all that Hamakua beauty.
