IRS990/Desc0TENDING THE MERWIN PALM TREE COLLECTION: Since assuming stewardship of the Merwin Palm Tree Collection in 2020, TMC has employed contract gardeners to care for, protect, catalog, and report on a diverse collection of palms. The collection is widely considered to be one of the largest and most diverse private palm collections. It is a core tenet of our organization's mission to ensure the ecological integrity of this collection, and to safeguard the health of species within it. In 2023, we made several important improvements to the garden care infrastructure and process. Biologist and palm expert Dr. Bill Baker helped to identify several palm species in the garden and planted a native loulu (Pritchardia) palm during his residency, a tradition we invite all the artists, writers, and scientists in our residency program to take part in. As we considered how we might contribute to recovery efforts in Lahaina after the Maui fires, we began planning an effort to cultivate native West Maui palm species for replanting-inspired by W.S. Merwin's "Outline of a Project to Save the Hawaiian Pritchardias."

IRS990/MissionDesc0Rooted in the convictions of renowned American poet W.S. Merwin, The Merwin Conservancy imagines ways of engaging with place, poetry, and practice. We care for the thriving, internationally recognized palm garden on Maui that William Merwin and his wife Paula planted on land depleted by extractive agricultural practices; offer a residency program in the Merwins' home to writers and artists who make new possibilities for language and land; and foster attention to nature and the imagination through programming and storytelling.
