The Department of Agriculture has advised HILA that we should advise our members to avoid purchasing plant material from any nurseries located on Alii Drive area in Kailua- Kona due to suspected little fire ant infestation.
HILA is a member of the newly formed Little Fire Ant Task Force (LFATF). This task force is a coalition of Green Industry members, including the Landscape Industry, Kona Farm Bureau, Kona Coffee, Horticultural supply operations and the State of Hawaii.
Little Fire Ant has the potential to become a huge problem for our Big Island Green Industry, please attend the Kona Town meeting or inform yourself and take action to prevent the spread of this invasive species.
Mahalo,

An Invitation
President Obama is co-hosting the Global Observance of World Habitat Day 2009 on Monday, October 5, 2009 in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is taking the lead for the Administration in planning a series of national events and activities. This year’s focus is on improving planning and the theme is “Planning Our Urban Future”.
The celebration is a time to reflect on our collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat. Hawaii’s unique blend of indigenous traditions of stewardship and lifestyle values can serve as an extraordinary lens to shape a preferred vision of sustainable, thriving communities.
Please join the Honolulu Field Office and co-sponsors for this timely forum on how Hawaii can contribute to the conversation of a new planning framework to create more sustainable and equitable communities for all people.

Up By Roots
October 22, 2009
Sheraton Waikiki
James Urban, FASLA, brings his new award winning book, Up By Roots, to life with a day of hands-on instruction highlighting key soil and site assessment techniques. These skillsare critical for landscape architects, arborists,
architects, planners, and urban foresters who design, specify, install, or manage trees in the built
environment. This seminar will provide landscape architects and other LEED professionals with the basic skills needed
to understand and design sustainable soil resources in preparation for the ASLA Sustainable Sites Initiative, which will require analysis, preservation, reuse, and amending of existing soil resources as well as providing sufficient soil volumes
for trees. These soil requirements will be added to future LEED rating systems.

Chris Dacus presenting. Most of the human built environment in Hawai`i is in the lowlands stretching from the ocean to the base of the mountains, including residential communities, vacation resorts, and other places where people live and work. The vegetation in this area is almost completely nonnative. Some of these nonnative plants are invasive and the built environment serves as the vector to invade the remaining natural, native-dominated habitats of Hawai`i. The Landscape Industry Council of Hawai`i, which encompasses the related green industry associations in the State of Hawai`i, has developed a plan to retool the Green Industry over 20 years to reduce the industry's use of invasive plants and dramatically increase the use of native Hawaiian plants. The goal of this retooling is for the built environment to serve as the vector for the spread of native Hawaiian Plants. The strategy includes developing better supply and selection of native Hawaiian plants, fostering greater professional and personal environmental responsibility, and nurturing future green stewards.
