“We are blessed across the country to have citizens band together to form land trusts to protect the rivers, trails, parks, and family farms and ranches—the places that connect us and make us uniquely American. The work of the Land Trust Alliance is often the unseen hand that lifts up many organizations with a network, technical support and resources that would be difficult, if not impossible, to support in each individual organization. While I support my local land trust, I also support the Alliance as a way I can help make a national impact.”

“We know that our beloved local land trust would not be the thriving organization that it is without the support of the Land Trust Alliance. For 35 years the Alliance has been working to make land trusts like ours more credible, productive and accountable—whether by advocating for us in Washington or creating great resources like Rally, Land Trust Standards and Practices, accreditation and Terrafirma. Knowing we have the support of the Alliance allows us to spend more time preserving the lands we love and sharing our passion for nature with others. For all of this we are enthusiastic Alliance supporters!”

“We believe that the more than 100 land trusts in the Chesapeake Bay watershed can make a major contribution to the goal of protecting the Bay and the quality of water flowing into it. To date, the focus of the Environmental Protection Agency and the states has been on regulation and water treatment. Land Trust Alliance staff have worked with us to craft an innovative program that helps all land trusts include protecting water in their acquisition and stewardship programs.”
