State Land Conservation Program Offering Funding Opportunities

Through its Legacy Land Conservation Program, the DLNR is currently accepting grant applications to acquire and preserve land that has natural, environmental, recreational, scenic, cultural, agricultural production, or historic value, including park and trail systems that provide access to such land. Approximately $5.9 million is expected to be available for awards during the current grant cycle.
The Land Conservation Fund is a tool for conserving and protecting Hawaiʻi’s natural beauty and all natural resources for the benefit of present and future generations. Grants from the Land Conservation Fund support efforts by state agencies, counties, and nonprofit land conservation organizations to acquire land and protect resources for public benefit.
Applications for land acquisition grants, which are due December 12, 2022 can be accessed at http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/ecosystems/llcp/apply
