ERA Ecosystem Restoration Associates Touches down in Hawaii

KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS

ERA will begin work in 2008 to estimate the operational carbon footprint for Hawaii's Kamehameha Schools and assess the sequestration capability for the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate.

Kamehameha Schools, formerly called Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate, is a private co-educational college preparatory institution in Hawaii, with three campuses in Kapa'lama (Oahu), Pukalani (Maui), and Kea'au. Statewide, Kamehameha serves over 6,500 students from preschool through the twelfth grade. Kamehameha Schools was established in 1887 under the terms of the last will and testament of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, a direct descendant of Kamehameha the Great and last of the House of Kamehameha. Bishop's will established a trust currently called the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate, the largest private landowner in the State of Hawaii. Income from the trust is used to operate the schools.

Kamehameha Schools is a dynamic and nurturing learning community committed to educational excellence and assisting people of Hawaiian ancestry to achieve their highest potential as "good and industrious men and women."
