The state Department of Land and Natural Resources hosts an informational meeting on Maui tonight, March 3, to gather input on the 2014 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan.

Department officials say the plan is updated every five years in order for the state to remain eligible to receive federal funds and grants through the  Land and Water Conservation Fund and the National Park Service.

The meeting runs from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Planning Department meeting room, located on the first floor of the Kalana Pukui Building in Wailuku.

Similar meetings were held on Hawaiʻi Island in February.
