Twenty sites were sampled within these areas and observations made on three other areas. Two sites, the Makawao Forest Reserve at 5,900 feet and the Ko'olau Gap ('Aina-hou) at 5,560 feet, just outside the northern boundary of the Park, were also visited. Specimens of flowering plants, ferns, mosses, liverworts, lichens and insects were collected. Census observations were made on the birds. Determinations on all the flowering plants, ferns and birds have been completed. The determination of many species from the other groups will not be complete until authorities elsewhere have had an opportunity to study them. Some recommendations are included for future studies. Several potential management problems are also submitted; they are on the control of goats, pigs and the blackberry.en-USInvasive species controlBirds -- Hawaii -- Maui.Haleakala National Park (Hawaii)Insects -- Hawaii -- Maui.National parks and reserves -- Hawaii -- Maui.Natural history -- Hawaii -- Maui.Plants -- Hawaii -- Maui.Report
