On January 1, 2011 the
Kaua'i Public
Land Trust merged with three other land trusts around the state to
form the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust (HILT). The merger creates an
organization with the sustainability and resources to safeguard existing
protected lands and dramatically grow conservation lands in Hawai`i. To
continue to best serve the Kaua'i community the KPLT staff and office
have been retained. Jennifer Luck will now serve as the Kaua'i Island
Director. Gifts and donations to HILT may be restricted to Kaua'i if
the donor so chooses.
In Hawai`i land is our
most valuable resource. Its conservation helps ensure clean air and
drinking water, food security, scenic landscapes and views, recreational
places, and habitat for a diversity of ecosystems. Land conservation in
Hawai`i is especially imperative due to the added significance of
inseparable cultural relationships and our intrinsic space limitations.
