2025 Advocacy Days
The Land Trust Alliance’s 2025 Advocacy Days will allow passionate land conservation practitioners to come together to meet with a new Congress and advance important land trust policies in a way that no one land trust could do by itself. Attendees will have the opportunity to partake in both virtual and in-person activities as well as share stories about how conserving our nation’s land and water is helping their districts and states. Your participation is as important as it is truly valuable.
2025 Advocacy Days will take place in Washington, D.C., May 5-8.

2024 Advocacy Days
The Land Trust Alliance welcomed 132 dedicated land conservation professionals to Washington, D.C., for its 13th annual Advocacy Days event on April 15-18.
The event featured high-profile speakers and nearly 200 meetings with congressional offices to discuss key issues and share strategies to advance conservation goals.
I felt nervous and excited but mainly honored to represent my local land trust and the efforts toward private land conservation.
— Kaolin Randall, board member for the Central Arizona Land Trust
As part of the event, Advocacy Days attendees, partners and members of Congress and their staff came together for an evening reception to celebrate voluntary private land conservation and the more than 5.5 million acres of working lands conserved through Natural Resources Conservation Service Farm Bill easement programs. Multiple esteemed officials and members of Congress addressed the crowd, including former Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.), Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-N.Y.) and NRCS Regional Conservationist for the Central Region Curtis Elke.
