Lahaina Community Land Trust is networking locally and nationally with other established land trusts to learn best practices and strategies for securing ʻāina in community ownership and developing programs for proper stewardship of that ʻāina. They are building bridges and strengthening relationships with other West Maui community groups and leaders to facilitate development of a unified vision and messaging for community-based planning initiatives, hosting community gatherings, organizing and facilitating effective communication strategies, and spaces for connecting, communicating and collaborating.
