Voices From the Edge: Hawai`i’s Ancient Trails and Their Message Today
What can we learn from the ancient Hawaiian trails? How do they connect us to earlier times and what are the thoughts going on today about access issues? Dr. Richard Stevens will touch upon this and more in this month’s presentation. Richard is one of the premier experts today on Hawaiian trails and has worked extensively as a “trail hunter” and researcher for the State Division of Forestry & Wildlife and the Research Corporation of the University of Hawai`i. He currently teaches classes at UH-West Hawaii when he’s not writing books and articles on trails and organic gardening.
This is the June portion of a community lecture series for 2012 that spotlights local and state speakers on a wide variety of cultural and historical subjects. Presented by Kona Historical Society, in cooperation with the County of Hawai’i, this lecture series is a gift from the Society to the community that has supported it for so long. Free of charge, it is open to all, residents and visitors alike.
