About [Edit]
The International Bamboo Foundation has its base of operations located on the island of Maui, Hawaii.
EDUCATION is essential for bamboo to become a commonplace building material and to insure responsible agroforestry practices. We don't want to see another example of clear cutting forests and dwindling reserves or harmful environmental effects as has been with the worlds tropical rainforest reserves. With over 1,000,000 visitors every year, Maui, Kauai, or the Island of Hawaii can provide an excellent location for an educational facility. The International Bamboo Foundation has been in dialogue with the Hawaii Homelands organization and the University of Hawaii with proposals for leased land on Maui and Kauai.
An "ECO-LODGE" is an idea to be designed by world class designer Linda Garland and Eco-Architects president, David Sands to be planned for Kauai, Maui or the Big Island. A Bamboo environmental retreat could be the site for an arboretum and plantation to demonstrate the economical and ecological advantages of building with and growing bamboo. We are actively looking for investors to take part in this project so please contact us for further information by emailing us.
AGROFORESTRY AND PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT
We project a bamboo arboretum on 20 acres of agricultural land adjacent to a tourist artery which will highlight biodiversity and permaculture integrating native plant species. The park will contain roughly one hundred bamboo species with emphasis on the five main species used in construction of housing. Park structures would be built of bamboo highlighting the history and diversity of bamboo used throughout the world. A variety of beautiful, fascinating and high quality crafts and objects would be available for sale. A similar attraction in France has 300,000 visitors a year. The Park can open in three years as bamboo matures quickly. A production nursery will be developed to raise bamboo plants for sale to tourists for export and to develop nursery stock for planting shoot and timber acreage.

Hi there,
I strongly support what you guys are doing there in Maui. We also trying to spread the experience of Bamboo to people here in Northern California at our Bamboo Plant Nursery. Keep up the great work!
