W.S. Merwin, a celebrated poet, found solace and seclusion in Maui during the 1970s, where he dedicated himself to creating a lush 19-acre palm forest. This extraordinary project transformed a barren piece of land into a thriving ecological haven, showcasing an impressive array of palm species. Today, the Merwin Conservancy diligently safeguards this rich environmental legacy, ensuring it remains a vital part of our natural heritage.
