Welcome to the Invasive Informant, sponsored by Kauaʻi Invasive Species Committee. KISC works across Kauaʻi to prevent, control, or eliminate the most threatening invasive plant and animal species in order to preserve Kauaʻi’s native biodiversity and minimize adverse ecological, agricultural, economical, and cultural impacts. This month, we take a look at ʻōhiʻa, Hawaiiʻs state endemic tree and the most abundant tree in the forest.
