Tour to the Queen Liliuokalani Retreat (Boyd/Irwin Estate) in Maunawili Valley.

Aloha kakou,

Please join us this Saturday April 4th at 10:30am at the Kawainui Neighborhood Park (End of Kaha St.) to go on a tour to the Queen Liliuokalani Retreat (Boyd/Irwin Estate) in Maunawili Valley.  This will be a part of the Kailua Earth Day activities celebrated at Kawainui Neighborhood Park as well as Ahahui Malama I ka Lokahi’s monthly educational tour.  The tour will be guided by Drs. Paul Brennan and Chuck Burrows to educate the public about the historical importance of this site and why it must be protected from increasing vandalism.  The tour will also include visits to another ancient Hawaiian temple (heiau) and to a restored taro pond field in upper Maunawili.  The tour will begin at 11:00 am and be completed by 2:00 pm.  People usually do not visit this area of upper Maunawili because there is no public access through private and governmental lands.  We can accommodate about 30 people for this tour and a donation of $5 would be appreciated.

Mahalo,

Chuck “Doc” Burrows
