Trust for Public Land Hawai‘i (TPL) works to protect the lands that shape Hawai‘i’s identity—places of cultural, ecological, and community significance. Partnering with local communities, government agencies, and organizations, TPL conserves watersheds, agricultural lands, coastal areas, and sacred sites. Their work strengthens food security, public access, environmental health, and climate resilience—ensuring that Hawai‘i’s most treasured places remain protected for future generations.

• Supporting the conservation of lands vital to cultural and ecological heritage • Funding projects that ensure public access and cultural practice • Investing in the protection of sacred and historically significant areas • Supporting community-led stewardship grounded in local values

HPF’s partnership with TPL strengthens efforts to safeguard the ʻāina that defines Hawai‘i. Together, these projects protect land in perpetuity, sustain ecosystems, and preserve knowledge deeply tied to place. When conservation is led by community and rooted in local values, it becomes more than environmental protection—it becomes an act of cultural continuity and collective responsibility.
