Maui Coastal Land Trust is a non-political, non-profit organization that works with private landowners, neighborhoods, community groups and government agencies to protect significant environmental and cultural resources in perpetuity. The protected resources are site specific and may include shoreline access and recreation, endangered species habitat, agricultural lands or culturally significant sites.

In some cases MCLT may own and manage the land, but more commonly, the landowner retains control and management of his or her property, but donates to the land trust a Conservation Easement which limits any development potential and specifies what can and cannot be done on the property.

We hope you find our website informative and it moves you to join us in our endeavor. Mahalo!
