This is something I had thought of also. A feild study was probably done first. They are also using technology to scope it out, shown effective, as stated in the article.

Are these plants root bound? Will the herbicide kill the roots or do they need to be pulled out at the root? This is something I would be interested in getting involved with. Always been a dream of mine to get into environmental conservation.
Please contact me further. I am considering a double major and wondering if Maui has the right coarses.
Mahalo 🙂

Who is making sure his paintball of herbicides are not killing the wrong things or getting into streams and waterways (especially in these ravines that were mentioned in the article)? You can’t see everything from the air.
