Background Information

The mission of the North Shore Community Land Trust (NSCLT) is to protect, steward, and enhance the natural landscapes, cultural heritage, and rural character of ahupua‘a from Kahuku Point to Ka‘ena on the North Shore of Oʻahu.

The three main areas of their focus include land conservation through 1) legal and developmental advisement (counsel), 2) land stewardship through restoration and maintenance, and 3) active community engagement through various partnerships and initiatives.

Not only does the organization focus on restoration and preservation of native plants and wildlife, it also is working to develop areas for Native Hawaiian agricultural practices as well. These projects help preserve the natural habitats of endangered species, improve water quality, and also help provide a sustainable food source for the local community.
