Hawaii's Pupukea-Paumalu, a 1,129-acre coastal bluff overlooking Oahu’s 
North Shore is now permanently protected because of a partnership 
including the U.S. Army Garrison, Hawaii, The Trust for Public Land 
(TPL) and the North Shore Community Land Trust.

The Pupukea agreement, signed in June, marks the third military buffer 
area on Oahu within two years.

In 2006, the Garrison used funds from the Army Compatible Use Buffer 
(ACUB) and the Defense Department Readiness and Environmental Protection 
Initiative (REPI) programs, with help from TPL, to help purchase of 
Waimea Valley. In April, the Hawaii Garrison used ACUB to contribute 
nearly $1 million to the purchase of the 3,716-acre Moanalua Valley.

"In large measure, [Pupukea and Waimea are] very connected projects 
because they both buffer against the same training area," said Col. 
Howard J. Killian, commander, U.S. Army Garrison, Hawaii. "They're both 
on the North Shore, and the North Shore community voiced a real interest 
and concern in protecting both places, so it really gave us an 
opportunity where one otherwise might not have existed."
