Honolulu's CWNL team explores conservation strategies at 2026 Land Trust Alliance Rally

“While Oʻahu faces its own unique challenges, many of the issues we encounter in land conservation are shared by communities across the country,” said Van Matsushige of the City’s CWNL program. “Opportunities like Rally allow us to learn from one another, build relationships, and bring back ideas that can help strengthen our conservation efforts here at home.”

Organized by the Land Trust Alliance, a national organization supporting land conservation through education, technical assistance, and advocacy, Rally also provided opportunities to strengthen partnerships and exchange practical knowledge with conservation leaders from across the country.

As the City agency responsible for administering the CWNL program, DHLM oversees the acquisition, stewardship, and management of lands protected through the Clean Water and Natural Lands Fund. Participation in Rally provides an opportunity to strengthen relationships with conservation partners, including the Trust for Public Land, Hawaiʻi Land Trust, and the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources.

By learning directly from conservation experts and other land protection programs across the country, the CWNL team can bring home practical strategies to improve land acquisition, stewardship, and long-term maintenance, helping ensure the City’s conservation investments continue to benefit Oʻahu’s communities for generations to come.
