Who We Are:

A Land Conservancy for the North Shore of O'ahu - Perhaps you come with your family to the North Shore every weekend or maybe you are able to visit only once a year. Drive along the coast and watch the surfers. Dream of a bike trail from Honolulu to the North Shore. Or see an open space vista from your window every morning.

Maybe you just like knowing that such places are simply there, out of sight but well within your reach. Since 1997 we've been working to ensure exactly that.

Our Goal Statement:

We see unprecedented opportunities for NSCLT to acquire and protect North Shore land with open space value.

These lands include forested hillsides and coastal farms, naupaka-shaded beaches and coconut groves, grassy meadows and wind-swept vistas. Unique and irreplaceable, each has exceptional natural resource, cultural, agricultural, recreational and/or scenic attributes.

Many of these properties will link previously protected land, adding more green space to the map of the North Shore. Others contain endangered species and offer the potential for miles of new trails.

How NSCLT Works:

NSCLT must have the funds on hand to purchase these lands when they become available, especially as the real estate market continues to rebound. Unless we have a ready reserve of land acquisition capital, these lands could be developed and their open space value destroyed.

We Can Do It - With Your Help:

Today, there are few sources of public funds for land acquisition. It will be up to us, the people who love open space and the North Shore, to raise the funds needed to permanently protect these lands. We can't depend upon others to preserve and protect this special community.

Our supporters live all over, from Hale'iwa to Kahuku, from Mokuleia to Wahiawa, and from Honolulu to California and give to NSCLT at every level. Together, we can do it.

Your support helps create a "land bank" of available funds to purchase, protect, and manage lands until NSCLT can transfer this open space into public or restricted private ownership.

Every acre you help save means another untouched vista or new trailhead, another place where wildlife can thrive and where we can pause to reflect or play.
