OISC's public outreach program raises public awareness about invasive species through school and community presentations, educational materials, and volunteer activities.
Would you like OISC to give an invasive species presentation to your school or community group? Call the OISC Outreach Specialist at 286-4616.
Volunteer service trips
Adventure, scenery, friends, and fun are all part of OISC's monthly service trips. We invite you to view the photo journal from previous trips, and volunteer to help protect and restore Oahu's native plants and special places.
Pest alert flyers
Download OISC's pest alert flyers to learn about our priority target species. The following documents are in PDF format and can be read with Adobe Reader.
Miconia (Miconia calvescens
OISC's number one target. The field crew spends 60% of their time surveying and removing miconia.
Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor)
Not as tasty as other blackberries and not as nice. This thorny invader can form dense thickets that crowd out native plants.
Fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum)
Fire-promoting grass that would be devastating to the Leeward side of the island where brush fires are more frequent.
