WAIHE'E
Take a tour of dunes, wetlands

Advertiser Staff

Maui Coastal Land Trust has scheduled a free, guided three-hour walk through the Waihe'e coastal dunes and wetlands refuge on June 2 beginning at 9 a.m.

The event is open to the public, but call (808) 244-5263 for reservations.

"This is a terrific opportunity to see an incredible coastal dunes and wetlands complex, which was once the site of ancient Hawaiian villages, an extensive inland fishpond and several heiau," said Dale Bonar, executive director of the Maui Coastal Land Trust, which owns and manages the property.

The 277-acre site will be restored as an environmental, cultural, historic and educational treasure.
