Nāhelehele’s President is participating as a Kona Open Space Network subcommittee member for the Kona Community Development Plan Action Committee. The subcommittee helped with formulating the vision and goals of an open space network, and is supporting the development of the open space network plan. The open space network is a key part of the Kona Community Development Plan, and has great potential for establishing dry forest corridors in the Kona region. In 2023, the Hawai’i County Planning Department hired a consultant to engage with the community to develop the plan for the open space network.
