Practice 1C: Community Engagement

This guidance covers Practice 1C, which has four elements:

1. Develop an inclusive, welcoming organizational culture that respects diversity

2. Seek to engage people who are broadly representative of the community in which the land trust works and foster opportunities to connect them with the land

3. Develop an understanding of the land trust’s community, and communicate the land trust’s work, services and impact in a manner that resonates with and engages that community

4. Build relationships with community leaders and other stakeholders in the land trust’s community
