Invasive Pine Trees Removed from Haleakala National Park

The National Park Service has announced that they will be removing a total of 3,000 invasive pine trees from the Haleakala National Park on the island of Maui. The operation will take about 10 days to complete and will require the use of helicopters to remove some of the trees that are growing in very remote or steep areas.  The invasive trees are Monterrey pine, Mexican weeping pine and maritime pine, and they are displacing endemic and endangered species in the area.
