08 September 2007 OISC service trip.

Target species: Long-thorn kiawe (Prosopis pallida)
Area: Mokauea Island, the last fishing village on Oahu
The OISC volunteer work trip on Mokauea was a great time! We chopped down 86 long-thorned kiawe trees! Thank you to all those who helped to make this trip a success.

The Hawaiian Ecosystems at Risk (HEAR) project is currently funded by the Pacific Basin Information Node (PBIN) of the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) through PIERC (USGS) with support from HCSU (UH-Hilo). More details are available online.
