Abigail Campbell Family Foundation, Serendipity II Fund of the Hawaiʻi Commu- nity Foundation and Hawaiʻi Land Trust donors provided additional support. This en- sures that the 24 acres of land will be permanently farmed to grow healthy food for local ‘ohana. “This agricul- tural conservation easement means so much to Hawai‘i during a time where we col- lectively want more locally grown food, yet land values are skyrocketing and farms are shutting down,” states Shae Kamakaʻala, HILT’s director of ʻāina protection. “With an alignment of values and intentions, it is beautiful to see how agricultural con- servation easements can have such a dramatic impact on the protection of Hawaiʻi’s farm- lands.” Learn more at hilt.org or kahumana.org ... gkeller@ midweek.com
