FEBRUARY IS HAWAIʻI INVASIVE SPECIES AWARENESS MONTH!
Hawaii Invasive Species Council hosted virtual events in February to learn more about invasive species by exploring the three wao (or realms) of Akua (upper forests), Kanaka (lower valleys and urban areas), and Kahakai (wetlands, ocean). Each week they will learn from the different people working in these wao, the invasive species impacting them, and what you can do to help. Look for the tag #HISAM22 on Instagram and Facebook.
