The USDA Forest Service awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii under the Forest Health Protection (CFDA 10.680) program. The grant will support the state of Hawaii's active management strategies for invasive species across private and public land, with a focus on developing control strategies for the coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB), a major palm pest. Key activities include finding organisms (insects or pathogens) from the native range of CRB that can be used for control, as well as hosting workshops and events for land managers to coordinate management and monitoring efforts. The project aims to address agency priorities like reducing wildfire risk, increasing timber production, maintaining forest aesthetics, and enhancing public safety. This is a multi-year project spanning from September 2025 to August 2027.
