One of Maui's best-known attractions is getting a little bigger.

Haleakala National Park acquired more than 4,000 acres from the rim of the crater to the south coast of Kaupo on Maui.

Congressional delegates, the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund and the James Campbell Co. worked together to purchase the land.

The 4,100 acres contain critical habitat for rare birds and animals, historical Native Hawaiian sites and remnants of a koa forest.
