Description
The Operation, Maintenance, and Management (OMM) Grant is administered by the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources through its Legacy Land Conservation Program. It supports the ongoing care of property previously protected through the program’s Land Acquisition Grant, helping owners protect, maintain, and restore resources at risk and provide greater public access and enjoyment.
Supported work includes equipment, maintenance and repair, materials and supplies, and professional services to prepare management plans or environmental assessments. Applications must connect proposed activities to conservation needs, identify deliverables and completion timeframes, and explain how success will be measured and the work sustained after the grant. Related properties owned by one applicant may be managed through a single application.
