The City and County of Honolulu CWNL Program, the Trust for Public Land, Hoʻāla ‘Āina Kūpono, the Fukumitsu ohana, Hawaiian Islands Land Trust (HILT) and the State of Hawai’I DLNR Legacy Land Conservation Program came together to ensure the protection of the Hakipu’u Loʻi Kalo that sits at the foot of the Koʻolau Range mountains, Kāne‘ohe Bay, and neighboring the Mōliʻi Fishpond. On July 22, 2020 the property was officially acquired and protected with a conservation easement acquired by the City with HILT as its administrative oversight partner. The conservation easement guarantees that Hakipu’u Loʻi Kalo will be protected from development and will be used to educate present and future generations about kalo farming.
