This talk about habitat restoration by reintroducing endemic species and removing invasive ones really gets my juices going. I'm big on taking care of my own land here in California by removing broom and my current nemesis, acacia. Wish I was on the Big Island to help out!
I'm a member of the Nature Conservancy, so I knew about the Kahuku addition to VNP very early on and I was rooting for it the whole time. Just wish I could have finagled a visit last time I was on-island. Also tried to get to see some of the private palm gardens that I read about in Hana Hou, to no avail.
I noticed with interest that the silverswords were germinated in Volcano, our favorite place on the island (well, so far anyway). Would they thrive there as well or is it too low and wet (and maybe warm)?
