~Welcome and Aloha ~
Our Purpose
Hawai’i Island Land Trust (HILT) facilitates the protection
of environmentally-sensitive lands (watersheds, floodplains, native habitat)
open space, agricultural and ranching lands, cultural sites, and historically
significant areas that are important for present and future generations.
This includes coastal lands, wetlands, pasture lands, mountain lands
and forest lands. We serve only the Island of Hawai’i.
Our Motto
Hawai’i Island Land Trust's core values are shaped by Hawaiian
culture and tradition. Our motto, “Malama Ka Aina, Pulama Na Mea
Oiwi,” ("care for the land, cherish the spirit and the culture
of the land and its people") embodies the intent of these values.
We were given this intent as a gift from the kupuna (elders) of one of
our founding board members. It is the Hawaiian way to cherish and protect
the ‘aina, the land. The land bridges the sky and the seas with
a connection that feeds us and nourishes our souls. As we move into the
future, the respect and honor we hold for the ‘aina guides us and
our actions as a land trust.
