Would you like to hike, camp, explore rare ecosystems, and help people learn about the unique plants and animals of Hawaii? The Maui Invasive Species Committee (MISC) is looking for interns to help us defend the ‘āina from an onslaught of invasive species. MISC works throughout Maui County from the coastline of Lanai to the summit of Haleakala controlling the invasive alien plants and animals threatening the diverse ecosystems we depend on for our watersheds. As an intern you will have the opportunity to learn more about these ecosystems and the rare plants and animals that compose them. Be prepared to hike in rough terrain and spend a week camping in Hana, Lanai, or high in the rain forest of East Maui. Help with helicopter surveys, learn about GPS data collection and processing, and canvas neighborhoods explaining the importance of removing invasive species. Late night hours are required when assisting with coqui frog control. For more information contact MISC at 808-573-6472. To apply go to http://hawaii.gov/dlnr/dofaw/RYCC/Apply
