Post-Fire Recovery and Restoration at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park

Event Phone: (808) 935-5021
Admission Price: $0
In the midst of the Kīlauea eruption crisis of 2018, an unrelated wildfire ignited near Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park on August 5, burning nearly 4,000 acres—much of this area within the park itself. More than 100 people from various organizations worked together to suppress the Keauhou Fire, which scorched protective fences and consumed thousands of acres of koa forest and native shrubland. Destructive as that was, the Keauhou Fire also provided an opportunity to restore biodiversity, control invasive plants, and build fire resilience by boosting populations of fire-tolerant native species which today are quickly reclaiming the charred landscape off Mauna Loa Road. In today’s warmer, drier world, wildfires are expected (and are proving) to be more frequent. HVNP botanist Sierra McDaniel shares these experiences and their consequences and illustrates the value of preparing for wildfire events, twice on Monday, August 26 (afternoon and evening).
