National Land Trust Census

National Land Trust Census

It's time for the 2021 National Land Trust Census!

Conducted once every five years, the Census is the only comprehensive survey of private land conservation in America. Census data directly informs how land conservation is understood by the public, including policymakers, journalists, researchers, state associations and other partners at the state, local and national levels.

We’re all in this together. Join us in sharing your land trust’s stories and successes. 

To get started, log into the web survey with your Land Trust Alliance address and password. Note: this is the same login you use for the Learning Center, Terrafirma and registering for Alliance webinars or Rally.

Check out our guide to getting ready and find the full list of questions here. Questions? Email us at census@lta.org.

    What's New

    • Only the essentials - 30% fewer questions than the 2015 Census
    • New sections on community engagement and climate change
    • A redesigned, easy-to-use web survey

    Thank You

    Many thanks to the 77 organizations that have already responded to the Census. We greatly appreciate your help! If your organization isn't yet on this list, will you help us reach our goal of 750 responses by March 31?
