Many of Hawaii’s cultural, natural, agricultural, historical, and recreational resources are lost when private lands possessing these resources are sold and developed. The Legacy Land Conservation Program (LLCP) provides grants to local organizations and agencies seeking to purchase and protect lands having these unique and rare valuable resources. About
the Legacy Land Conservation Program
