Hawai`i Island Land Trust (HILT)

Formed in 2001 as the Kona Land Trust, HILT renamed itself to reflect its new role as the primary land trust for the state’s largest island. To meet the growing needs of the land trust and community, the all-volunteer organization is in the process of hiring an executive director.

“With so much pristine acreage, we still have the opportunity to preserve and protect some significant open spaces on the Big Island,” announced President Mike Katz. HILT hopes the addition of an executive director and other paid staff will help them gain the resources needed to expand their efforts and assure comprehensive management and protection of lands and easements that are expected to be donated to the land trust in the coming years.
