Our kickoff event will have educational outreach tables highlighting the different restoration goals of the project including brown treesnake hunting, capture, and removal, native plant restoration, and artificial nest box installation to facilitate the return of Micronesian starling (Såli). NPS staff will be present to provide a cultural history of Asan Beach Park. After enjoying a beautiful sunset, biologists will provide headlamps and flashlights and lead participants in the search to find, capture and remove snakes around the park.
