"If you know wilderness in the way that you know love, you would be unwilling to let it go....This is the story of our past and it will be
the story of our future."
— Terry Tempest Williams, Testimony

This year, the Kauai Public Land Trust celebrates 20 years of protecting “places of the heart” for present and future generations. Over our first two decades, we successfully set aside 178 acres on Kauai. From a small, often frequented coastal strip in Ha`ena to 158 acres of coastal wildlife habitat and scenic estuary lands in and around the Kilauea River Estuary, these lands are protected against development in perpetuity.

Kilauea Falls - Generously donated by a Kilauea landowner, 150 acres of the 162 acre
property are now protected from development forever.

Center: Vice President Gary Blaich
As we look back on our 20-year journey, we are grateful to all of you who have given generously of your time, money and expertise in support of our mission. We extend a special welcome to our newer members who are joining us for KPLT’s next chapter.

As we all know, there is much more to do. We continue to work to expand Blackpot Beach Park on beautiful Hanalei Bay. Alekoko Fishpond, Coco Palms, Maha`ulepu, Po`ipu Beach Park Expansion and the creation of a passive park in Kekaha are just a few of the other “places of the heart” on our “To Do List”, as we work with other groups for the right time and money to secure those properties.

Ken Burns’ recently televised documentary, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, is a moving reminder that our efforts on Kaua`i are part of a rich national legacy that was begun generations ago. Only, our focus is on “local” lands and “local” places—places on Kaua`i that have generated rich memories and deep connections with the aina for families and individuals over many years.

We hope you will consider making a gift to KPLT to help us mark this important milestone in our journey. And please encourage those who share your conservation ethic to join our ‘ohana.
