Heiau restoration seeking volunteers

Advertiser Staff

Volunteers are needed to help restore Ulupo Heiau, which sits on the edge of Kawai Nui marsh in Kailua.

Those interested in helping to maintain this state historic site should meet tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. in the heiau parking area, behind the Windward YMCA at 1200 Kailua Road. Volunteers are instructed to bring lunch, water, rain gear, sunscreen and work gloves.

Ulupo Heiau is said to be the largest heiau on Oahu and one of the oldest in Hawaii.

The event is sponsored by the Kailua Hawaiian Civic Club and Ahahui Malama i ka Lokahi, the heiau's co-curators. For more information, call 593-0112.
