What land trusts can do

As the Alliance works to ensure Congress and the Trump administration understand the importance of the work of land trusts and voluntary private land conservation — and the programs and policies that support that work — we need your stories. Communicating the benefits of the federal programs that land trusts utilize, and how these programs are a wise investment, is essential to this task. We’ve created a form where you can quickly provide us with details on how your work and, by extension, your community have been impacted.

Tell them how your work helps your community thrive — and, if relevant, how cuts in federal funding could negatively impact this work and your community. We’ve created resources and key messages to help you with your outreach.
