Land Trusts Committed to Proposed Conservation Defense Insurance Program

The leadership of the following 324 land trusts in ensuring the permanence of their conservation work is an inspiration to land trusts everywhere.  They have made a difference already.  By committing to join this proposed program, these land trusts have pushed enrollment to 100 percent of the needed 12,000 commitments to make the program feasible.

This is now only a proposed program, but you can help make it a reality.  Over the next year we will have a series of interim land marks to help the Alliance board decide whether to proceed to the next step in creating this program.
