Fighting Invasive Species in the Watersheds

We are dependent on our high mountain forests to collect and provide freshwater for us on the islands. Keeping these forests healthy is an essential and challenging job! Join us to learn more about the steps manager Cheyenne Perry of the Mauna Kea Watershed Alliance is taking to protect the mauna from feral cattle, rapid ohi'a death, and other invasives. Then learn from field crew leader Jake Merkel about the on-the-ground struggle in Kohala to prevent Himalayan (kahili) ginger from taking over the forest.
