Dr. Hanna Mounce, manager of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, will speak at the annual meeting of the Friends of Haleakalā National Park on Thursday, April 25. Her presentation is “Alalā Recovery, Maui Nui.” She will explain plans to release the endemic and very endangered alalā, or Hawaiian crow, back into the wild and what the project’s challenges and progress have been to date.
