Area in Manoa surveyed for miconia (graphic by Dan Anderson).

Excited to be surveying for OISC's #1 target, miconia.

Steep terrain and thick vegetation are just a few of the obstacles OISC volunteers face on miconia surveys.

9 October 2010 OISC service trip.

Volunteers worked in Manoa Valley to survey the area for invasive pest miconia (Miconia calvescens).

As always, thank you to all of the volunteers who are helping to protect our native species!
