The NAPP generally requires the land be protected by a Conservation Easement. There are various sources of information on Conservation Easements online, and organizations such as land trusts can also provide information. Land Trust organizations are active in Hawaii, with some focused on individual locations or islands, and others statewide. Before proposing a NAPP project, please research whether the conservation easement requirement, as well as the matching funds requirement can be met.
