The designated Maui and Oahu land district seats are open, according to a press release Wednesday. The volunteer board positions, which hold four-year terms, require attendance at BLNR meetings on Oahu twice a month “and more often as needed.”

The DLNR manages forestry and wildlife, aquatic resources, state parks, boating and ocean recreation, historic preservation and conservation and coastal lands.
BLNR members must be approved by the state Senate and are required to provide public financial disclosure information.
The BLNR has seven members total, including chair Suzanne Case, who also heads the DLNR.
