We talk with Franny Brewer of the Big Island Invasive Species Committee about how prevention, early detection, and community reporting protect Hawaii’s farms, forests, and neighborhoods. From port monitoring to nematode injections, we map the tools anyone can use to slow the spread. • Role of BIISC across prevention, detection, response, and education • Port monitoring for CRB, RIFA, mosquitoes, and Japanese beetle • Early detection using iNaturalist and formal plant ID • Prioritizing threat...

S4 Ep 07 - Exploring Hawaii's Grasslands: Kevin Faccenda and the Hawaii Grass Atlas
Curious about the hidden dynamics of Hawaii’s grasslands? Join us as we speak with Kevin Basienda, a passionate graduate researcher from the University of Hawaii, who has embarked on a mission to map out the lush yet invasive grass species across the islands. Intrigued by the complexities of these plant invaders, Kevin's journey led him to create the Hawaii Grass Atlas, a treasure trove of information featuring over 280 grass species. Through innovative data collection methods, including road...
