About Us
Forest was born and raised on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Kim is part Hawaiian and was born and raised on the mainland US. We met at Cornell University in New York, where we enjoyed rock climbing and the changing seasons. After graduating we moved to Maui, Hawaii, switched to surfing, and worked in the real estate and hotel industries. In 1997 we entered the conservation industry, working as biologists for the University of Hawaii. We also do contract work as Starr Environmental. Our primary focus is on plants, though we also delve into insects, birds, and other aspects of Hawaii natural history. Examples of our work include early detection of non-native plants, monitoring the native Haleakala silverswords, and surveys of Hawaii's offshore islets and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Our current work includes road surveys for non-native plants, helicopter landing zone plant surveys, surveys for ants, and monitoring non-native fireweed.
