The power of a national land conservation community

With so many land trusts, land conservation professionals, and our volunteers and supporters spread throughout the country, the Land Trust Alliance is helping fuel outreach in every community across America. We’re here to give you the knowledge and support to work with your neighbors and protect the local places you love.

Contact Your Local Land Trust
One of the most important first steps is contacting a land trust, whether you’re a landowner interested in protecting your property for future generations or a citizen concerned about increasing sprawl in your community.

Contact a Service Center
Service centers are statewide coalitions or bureaus that like the Alliance deliver services and technical assistance to strengthen local and regional organizations and land trusts that conserve open space.
