A safe, welcoming and including training space is our priority. The Code of Conduct below expresses what the Land Trust Alliance requires from training and event participants. We will continue to adapt these statements based on feedback and experiences in the coming months and years. Please send comments and suggestions to training@lta.org.

Land conservation is at its best and most enduring when it engages, includes and benefits all people. Everyone deserves to feel safe and that they belong — on the land, in the conservation sector and at Land Trust Alliance events.

To that end, the Alliance is dedicated to providing a harassment-free learning experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity or religion. We further commit to ensuring safety and inclusion at our trainings and events and to delivering a welcoming and fulfilling experience.

Therefore, all attendees, speakers, volunteers, partners, vendors and Alliance staff at any Alliance event are required to conduct themselves with integrity, courtesy and respect for others and maintain professionalism at all programs and events. All communication should be appropriate for a professional setting. Harassment, insult or defamation in any form will not be tolerated at Alliance events.

Participants violating the Code of Conduct will have their access to the training revoked at the sole discretion of the Alliance. Thank you for helping to create welcoming and safe training experiences for all.
