Historically, land has shaped us as a people; today, it is the key to a healthy and secure future for all Americans. It provides pure drinking water, healthy food, clean air and a home for plants and animals. Conserved, well-managed land also provides protection from natural disasters, such as floods and drought, while absorbing carbon and keeping it from the earth’s atmosphere.
The Land Trust Alliance shares its members’ passion for the land. As the voice of the land trust community, the Alliance is the national leader in policy, standards and education, working to strengthen and support land trusts so they can conserve and steward more land now and for future generations.
