The ‘Ewa Forest Reserve (Kalauao Sec.) is 635 acres which includes portions of the ‘Aiea Loop and Ridge trails.  These popular trails are also one of the few places on O‘ahu to see quality native forests and endemic forest birds in their native habitat.

ʻEwa Forest Reserve is located in central Oʻahu spread across the districts of Wahiawa and ʻEwa. The reserve was first designated on March 9, 1906, by Governorʻs Proclamation, and currently consists of approximately 7,807 acres. ʻEwa Forest Reserve is currently composed of three separate sections along the leeward side of the Koʻolau mountains.

Game mammal and game bird hunting opportunities are offered on the six major islands in the State of Hawai‘i: (Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, Maui, Moloka‘i, Lana‘i and the big island of Hawai‘i). Each of these islands has one or more State-designated public hunting areas (called Hunting Units), which are open for hunting at certain times during each year. Game mammal and game bird hunting opportunities are also available on private lands as well. Occasionally, the Division of Forestry & Wildlife (DOFAW) may modify or cancel a hunting season in a particular area to adjust for changes in weather conditions or animal populations.
