Hawaii Experimental Tropical Forest

The Mission of the Hawaii Experimental Tropical Forest (HETF) is to provide landscapes, facilities, and data/information for those wishing to conduct research and education activities contributing to a better understanding of the biological diversity and functioning of tropical forest and stream ecosystems and their management. 
Monitoring the climate of the HETF units and being able to relate the climate and any climate change to the ecology of the HETF is a major goal of the experimental forest.
