Volunteers and staff also provided information and fielded questions at several presentations including the Kona Farm Fair, several Kona Farmers Alliance and Coffee Council meetings, and conducted door to door surveys while distributing "Miconia Wanted" flyers and surveying farms.

Dozens of 8.5" x 11" Miconia Wanted posters were laminated and put up throughout neighborhoods and general stores in areas suspect of miconia and where the field teams are working.  Posters were tied to trees along trails to miconia sites in forest areas of Hilo and Puna and flyers were left at hunter stations.
