Maui County Mayor Michael Victorino, and First Lady Joycelyn Victorino, along with Council Chair Alice Lee are set to light the Maui County Christmas Tree, with festivities set to start at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 5. The event will be held on the front lawn of the Kalana O Maui Building located at 200 S. High Street in Wailuku.

The invasive species, officials say, pose a threat to the preserve’s rare dry mamane sub-alpine shrubland, found only on East Maui and the Big Island.
