Mission

KACHEMAK HERITAGE LAND TRUST (KHLT) IS A NATIONALLY ACCREDITED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION FORMED IN 1989 FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSERVING THE NATURAL HERITAGE OF THE KENAI PENINSULA FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

  • LAND: Kachemak Heritage Land Trust proactively contacts landowners in priority areas to gauge interest in conservation projects. In addition, KHLT responds to and evaluates opportunities presented for conservation. KHLT works with partners to foster conservation projects, holds conservation easements and owns land for conservation purposes. KHLT is responsible for permanent preservation of land, which requires highly trained staff and sufficient funds to succeed, including defense of conservation easements when necessary.

    Expenses $460,221 · Revenue $38,545

  • Stewardship: Once KHLT preserves land through conservation easement or by outright ownership, KHLT becomes perpetually responsible to ensure the conservation purposes for protecting the property are followed. This perpetual responsibility requires highly trained staff with proper equipment and the funds needed to sustain this work, including the funds necessary to defend the conservation values in court if needed. KHLT at least annually monitors property under its care and addresses violations of the conservation restrictions when necessary.

    Expenses $209,721

  • COMMUNITY OUTREACH: KHLT CONDUCTS COMMUNITY OUTREACH THROUGH MULTIPLE MEANS, INCLUDING SOCIAL MEDIA, OUR WEBSITE, PUBLIC SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS, ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATIONS AND AT COMMUNITY MEETINGS. KHLT PROVIDES OUR KENAI PENINSULA COMMUNITY WITH INFORMATION AND ACCESS TO CONSERVATION TOOLS DESIGNED TO MEET THEIR NEEDS, AS WELL AS INCLUDES COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN OUR STEWARDSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES IN PERMANENTLY CARING FOR LAND FOR WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE. MUCH OF OUR WORK IS DONE IN DEEP PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL BODIES AND AGENCIES, INCLUDING OUR BABY SALMON LIVE HERE SIGN OUTREACH PROGRAM, OUR KING MAKER PROGRAM WHERE WE AWARD GOOD SALMON STEWARDS, AND OUR FISH NEED LAND TOO PROGRAM CO-HOSTED BY KACHEMAK BAY NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
