The Land Trust Alliance envisions a conservation movement that is energized and relevant, in which land trusts join with partners that have not traditionally identified as conservation organizations in order to advance a shared interest in protecting special places — from urban playgrounds to native prairies, from family farms to old-growth forests and from coastal wetlands to cactus-studded deserts. Lands that are needed and loved by people from all walks of life, that support an incredible array of plants and animals, and that are important as natural climate solutions.
Our strategic vision for the future is anchored in core values that advance local conservation initiatives that are community-based, inclusive, voluntary, nonpartisan and enduring.
Finding common ground
The Alliance will help people find common ground as they get outside together and see, touch, smell and protect what is real and what is beautiful. We commit that we will not only serve communities but build communities. We will plant the seeds that foster a shared love of land.
The Alliance has set four strategic conservation goals for 2018-2023 that tap the tremendous potential of the land to address societal challenges, and build on its successes in increasing the pace, quality and permanence of land conservation in America.
