Wainiha Valley on the northern and windward side of the island of Kaua'i, is now the Hawai'i's third-largest private nature preserve. The 7,050-acre parcel of A&B land includes a summit region of Mount Waialeale, one of the wettest areas on Earth; Hinalele Falls; and acres of rare, intact ecosystems in Wainiha Valley. [1]

According to a Honolulu Star-Bulletin article dated November 21, 2007, "A 10-year agreement lets the (Nature) Conservancy manage the wild lands, which will mostly involve strategically fencing out feral pigs and working to reduce the presence of Australian tree ferns, said Trae Menard, the Conservancy's Kauai program director."
