Land Trust Alliance
Land Trust Alliance
AllWhen the Alliance was created in 1982, there were fewer than 450 local and state land trusts across the country. The first land trusts were true pioneers with little money, but lots of pluck and determination. They formed the Alliance because they believed that by sharing policy, information and training, they could strengthen the work of land trusts everywhere.
Recently we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Alliance, and the remarkable success of citizen-led conservation. The result of our work has been the creation of a vibrant, national movement of 1,700 organizations which has now conserved over 37 million acres.
The Alliance is the only organization dedicated to the effectiveness and sustainability of the nation's land trusts and their use of conservation easements. We are proud that today we have approximately 1.5 million people as supporters and members of land trusts.
