| With the completion of a pig-proof fence in April of 2008, Kanaele bog is now fully protected from pig disturbance, allowing native vegetation a chance to recover. Weed eradication, monitoring, and the outplanting of rare and endangered species are ongoing management efforts. |

| A corner of the Kanaele Bog Protective Fence which encloses 57 acres of the rare bog community and surrounding lowland wet forest. |
| Guava comprised the majority of weeds treeted and were hand pulled when possible. Larger trees required treatment with minimum amounts of herbicide. |
| A crew of twelve from HYCC, TNC, and Pono Pacific camped in close proximity to the bog for a period of five days. |

| A group from the Hawaii Youth Conservation Corps (HYCC) assisted in weed control efforts removing nearly 14,000 weeds, primarily strawberry guava, from over 5 acres of the bog. Kanaele Bog provides an excellent site for youths to learn about conservation. |
| (Left) Transects were made along the west side of the enclosure. Volunteers steered clear of the actual bog, as to avoid trampling any rare species or causing soil disturbance. (right) Volunteers pull one of their own from the mud near the edge of the bog.. |
