State to hold hearing on Army endangered species plans

The state has scheduled a public hearing this week on the Army’s plans for managing endangered plant and animal species in the Koolau and Waianae mountains.

The state Department of Land and Natural Resources is holding the meeting to gather public input before its board considers the Army’s application to manage lands zoned for conservation.

The hearing is scheduled to be held on Wednesday in Honolulu at the Board of Land and Natural Resources conference room at 1151 Punchbowl St.
