About this grant
Following the launch of a national land trust accreditation program, the Land Trust Alliance is focusing on helping member land trusts prepare for the accreditation process. This grant will enable the Land Trust Alliance to provide organizational assessments, training and consultations to land trusts to enhance their organizational capacity and support land trust partnerships engaged in strategic conservation. During the past three years, the alliance built a land trust collaborative focusing on Lake Superior; assisted land trusts in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio in forming statewide networking organizations; and provided training on organizational capacity and strategic conservation issues.
