Projects Class, Period 2

Mr. MacDevitt
 Our budget

Land: 7.22 acres for $2,750,000

Water: over 15,000 gallons for $1.10
Maintenance: ranges from $1.28 to $2.00
per square foot
Labor: cost as much as $80,000 to
prepare/clear
Recreational: cost varies depending on
what is needed. Not concerned with
staying on budget.
What plants will we have?
Some plants that we would want to add would probably
be native, and here is a list of plants we decided to add:

- `Ohia Lehua (Metrosideros Polymorpha)

- Aikanene
- Akulikuli (Sesuvium portulacastrum)
- Kou (Cordia Subcordata)
- Mao Hau Hele (Hibiscus Brackenridgei)
- Hawaiian Olive Tree (Nestegis Sandwicensis)
- Pukiawe (Styphelia tameiameiae)
- Halapepe (Pleomele Auwahlenesis)
- Hala (Pandanus tectorius)
- Apple Banana (Musa Acuminata)
- WiliWili (Erythrina Sandwices)
- Beach Naupaka (Scaevola taccada)
Adding Water Sources
How would we keep it clean?
To keep this forest clean and healthy, wed soon
develop a community group. This group would be
full time workers or be an attendant on their own
time. Hopefully this would mean that if this
organization and projects gets bigger then wed
be able to start getting donations and volunteers.
We would also have rules in the area, either set up
on a sign or have people sign a waiver or
something when they come in. Most of the rules
would be about protecting the wildlife and
making sure there arent any people who are
climbing the trees or disturbing the area around.
Camping and littering are also prohibited.
 How would we water the plants?
To water the plants we would have to
create a drip system. A drip system is a
low-pressure, low-volume lawn and
garden watering system that delivers
water to home landscapes in a variety of
methods. Though a drip, spray or
stream, a drip irrigation system keeps
roots moist, but not soaked, using less
water than other irrigation techni ues.
This way we will save money and time
while still giving all the water that the
plants need.
Why a forest?
A large reason of why we picked a forest is
because around the world, forest sizes are
decreasing horri ically and we need more of
them. Especially if we are on an island that
used to be lourishing with trees and native
plants. We want to bring those things back to
the people and have them see what it was
like. We need this part of Hawaii back, this
part of Maui. I for one, like change but I
don't want skyscrapers or large towns
somewhere that's supposed to be a paradise.
Large stores is what the mainland is for, not
Maui.
 What Native Animals would live there?
Some Native animals are:
Maui Creeper: A yellow and gray
Maui bird also known as a Maui
Akialoa.

Maui Akepa : They can be both red,

orange, and green and they live in
forests a lot along with the creeper.

Iiwi: The I'iwi is a red bird who

drinks nectar and has a long curved
beak

 How much will it be for a plot of Land?
According to Maui News Now, the previous
HC&S lands (339 acres) were purchased by a
company in California for about $9.9 million. I
used this information to calculate an average
for how much land would cost per acre.

In the end, the cost would be $29,203.54/acre.

Based off of that we came to the conclusion
that we could buy 100 acres of land for about
$2,920,354 and still have $7,079,646 left over.
