About Hawaii Island Land Trust

Hawaii Island Land Trust (HILT) was formed in 2001 with the assistance of an organizational grant from the Trust for Public Lands. HILT is a community-based, non-political, non-profit corporation whose purpose is to provide an inclusive approach to land preservation on the island of Hawai'i. Working in cooperation and collaboration with the local community, HILT's mission is accomplished by interacting with landowners and managers who voluntarily choose to protect their land. HILT consults and collaborates with private organizations and government to coordinate and optimize a variety of private and public resources. The objective of HILT is to further the interests of landowners and land conservation through a variety of tools such as voluntary easements and land donations or purchases.
