(BIVN) – Anyone looking to purchase seedlings on Maui or Hawaiʻi island can now shop online for native and non-invasive plants grown in state nurseries managed by the Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW).
In a recent news release, the Hawaiʻi DLNR said the online purchasing service is part of DOFAW’s ongoing effort “to find innovative ways to expand seed propagation and support the creation of resilient landscapes over the next decade.”
“These nurseries offer a reliable and high-quality source of tree seedlings for restoring degraded lands, replanting after wildfires, improving watershed health and supporting healthy forests,” the DLNR stated. “State nurseries grow species that are not always available commercially, support our climate and wildfire resilience — and help build a greener economy through supporting local forestry jobs.”
The new online form facilitates quick ordering from nurseries on Maui and Hawaiʻi Island only, officials say. The website includes plant species profiles and growing tips.
