*STATUS* Fences inspected

With help from an exceptional individual from Hawai'i County, hiked about 9 miles of fences.

In February, March and April we found one puka where donkeys had previously gotten out. The landowner promptly fixed it at their own expense!

We saw where the Fire Department fixed a small puka in the fence, late last December; a very nice job.

We have seen a lot of new and newly repaired fencing that is likely proving a big help.

We are trying to get access to search some hard-to-get-to places to be sure fencing is OK.
