Do you know of a special property in Hawai’i County that should be permanently preserved? The County of Hawai’i Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Commission (PONC) is seeking suggestions from the public nominating lands that could possibly be preserved.

Properties may qualify for preservation because they offer opportunities for cultural significance, education, natural resources, outdoor recreation, public access to beaches or mountains. Nominations may include beaches, coastal areas, forests, places of natural beauty, in addition to the protection of natural resources such as watersheds for general benefits to the public. Scan the QR Code to get the 2024 Suggestion Form.

The 2024 Suggestion Forms must be received by Wednesday, January 31, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. as evidenced by the County of Hawaii time clock (HST) by email or mail. Any forms received late will not be reviewed. All forms received will not be returned.

To obtain the “2024 Suggestion Form” to nominate properties, please scan the QR code or contact Maxine Cutler, Property Management Division, at (808) 961-8069.
