Lyon - Manoa Arboretum

by ALOHA DEAN

The story of The Harold L. Lyon Arboretum is one of reconstruction. What is now Lyon Arboretum started in 1918 as a forest-restoration project by the Hawaiian Sugar Planter's Association Experiment Station (HSPA) on land that was denuded by cattle. The HSPA acquired 124 acres of land and put Dr. Harold L. Lyon, a young botanist from Minnesota, in charge. Dr. Lyon brought in and planted some 2,000 or so tree species on the grounds. The facility came to be known as the Manoa Arboretum.
