Land and Easement Program

KHLT works with willing landowners to preserve land on the Kenai Peninsula for natural, recreational or cultural values. KHLT uses various tools such as conservation easements to preserve land in perpetuity. To date, KHLT has preserved more than 1,554 acres on the Peninsula through conservation easement, and an additional 980 acres through acquisition and gifts of land. Read KHLT's At-A-Glance for a more complete description of lands protected on the Peninsula.

Victor Holm Cabin

An ongoing project is the renovation and research of the Victor Holm Cabin in Kasilof. This historic site was explored by Mrs. Carters 6th grade K-Beach Elementary class who developed a website with a wonderful Tour of Victor Holm's Cabin. Further information and updates about this project can be found at Victor Holm Property.

Moose Neighbors

Living in Harmony with Moose is a publication produced by the Kachemak Heritage Land Trust in Homer, Alaska. It is designed to help people co-exist with moose in Alaska. The idea came from a similar publication called Living with Mule Deer in the Methow Valley, in northeastern Washington. We are indebted to its authors.

Anchor River Information

Anchor River Facts and Resources is a document prepared by KHLT to provide sources of information and resources to landowners living near the Anchor River (or anyone else interested in the Anchor River).

Trails

KHLT also acquires trail easements to provide public access across private property to enhance outdoor recreational opportunities, and to date has built and maintains the Homestead Trail and the "Calvin and Coyle Nature Trail" and observation platform near Beluga Wetlands and accessible to Paul Banks Elementary School.

Summer Program

KHLT conducts a Summer Program of activities to help residents and visitors enjoy and appreciate the splendors of the Kachemak region. The schedule includes hikes on the Homestead Trail, beach walks, wetland tours, and visits to properties protected by KHLT conservation easements.
