Trust for Public Land 

Details:
The Trust for Public Land (TPL) Hawai‘i is a branch of the national Trust for Public Land, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving land for public use and community benefit. In Hawai‘i, TPL focuses on protecting culturally and environmentally significant lands, supporting Native Hawaiian stewardship, and ensuring public access to natural and recreational spaces. 

​

Their projects often involve working with local communities, government agencies, and Native Hawaiian organizations to safeguard lands with historical, ecological, or cultural importance. Examples of their work include helping to preserve Waimea Valley, Maunawili, Kānewai Spring, and Pahua Heiau, as well as supporting efforts to return ʻāina to local stewardship through community-based conservation.
