Description
We at The Kohala Center are truly grateful for the support of our Circle of Friends. To show our appreciation, we’ve planned several special events—exclusively for you. This fall we’re pleased to present thought-provoking Book Talks led by three esteemed Hawaiian authors, intellectual leaders, and Mellon-Hawai‘i Doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellows. And this coming spring wildlife biologist and award-winning photographer Jack Jeffrey will lead three breathtaking Nature Walks through some of Hawai‘i Island’s most stunning and magical forests.
Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged.
