In collaboration with the Ala Kahakai Trail Association and Malama Kohala Wahi Pana, the organizers helped secure another $2 million in grants and matches to preserve 34 more acres at Kaiholena South. In the last four years, along with five other North Kohala community groups, nearly 300 coastal acres have been preserved in perpetuity. These include Nu’uanu, Pao’o, Kaiholena North, and Kaiholena South. A capital campaign is being considered as the number of landowners wishing to sell their land for preservation purposes is rapidly increasing.
