    What is the Resource Center?

    The Resource Center is the Land Trust Alliance's educational website for conservation organizations and practitioners.

    It includes the Resource Library, Connection Hub, public policy advocacy, and information about your membership.

    Who has access?

    If you're part of an Alliance member organization, you have full member access.

    Anyone can browse the Resource Center to see what's available – no log-in required. Thanks to the generous funding of our government, foundation and individual supporters, there are many resources that are available to all with no restrictions.

    To access member-only resources, you will be prompted to log in. All staff, board members, other volunteers, or anyone else who is affiliated with an Alliance member or affiliate have full member access.

    We strongly recommend that each person logs in using their own individual emails and passwords – we don’t recommend sharing a login.
