The National Park Service will be hosting two community meetings next month to discuss best solutions in managing mosquito populations.

The meetings are online and set for Jan. 3 and Jan. 5. Participants would only need to attend one meeting.

Comments can also be submitted online or by mail to: Superintendent, Haleakalā National Park, PO Box 369, Makawao, HI 96768. Public comments will be accepted until Jan. 23, 2023.
