Land conservation is not keeping pace with growing threats to our lands, waters, wildlife and ways of life. There is, however, an answer to these growing threats — accelerating private land conservation.
To do that, the Land Trust Alliance is committed to ensuring land trusts have the necessary information, tools, capacity and resources to do more, faster. In support of our land trust members, we work to secure federal funding and charitable donations, mobilize a new powerbase for conservation and ensure conserved lands serve all people.
You can make a difference.
Making progress on today’s daunting environmental problems — including wildlife decline and worsening climate change — can feel out of reach for any one person. But engaging in land conservation — including supporting local land trusts — is an easy and tangible way to be a part of the solution.
Together, we are gaining ground.
Advocating for land conservation.
To protect more land, land trusts need the help of federal conservation programs. The Alliance works to advance federal policies and secure resources that support land trust to accelerate the pace of voluntary private land conservation.
Advocacy priorities
"The Alliance has helped in so many ways. I really appreciate their prompts, so I know when things are happening and when to contact my representatives. They provide so much information about the issues that I feel I can speak with confidence about our position. In addition, when writing an op-ed piece this past year, the Alliance provided guidance and editing help. Considering I hadn’t ever done that before, it was nice to have someone to go to for assistance."
Land trusts are gaining ground.
The Land Trust Alliance is committed to building support for land trusts and land conservation by encouraging and empowering people to get outside, volunteer, advocate for and donate in support of conservation.
