Legacy Land Conservation Program seeks applications for Fiscal Year 2025 land acquisition grants

The state of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Legacy Land Conservation Program is inviting grant applications from state agencies, counties and nonprofit land conservation organizations for Fiscal Year 2025.

The grants are to preserve and protect land through acquisition that has natural, environmental, recreational, scenic, cultural, agricultural production or historic value. This includes park and trail systems that provide access to such land.

Approximately $6.7 million in grant funds is expected to be available for award through a competitive process that includes consultation with state agencies and legislators, investigations and recommendations from DLNR’s Legacy Land Conservation Commission, and approvals from the Board of Land and Natural Resources and the governor.

Applications are due Oct. 11.
