Saving Land Magazine
In March 1982, a young organization launched its first newsletter — 16 pages that began with an introduction to the group “organized to serve as the catalyst and hub of a communications and mutual support network.” The Land Trust Exchange was born (predecessor to the Land Trust Alliance), and its newsletter, Exchange, covered the new field of private land conservation.
In 2008, Exchange morphed into Saving Land, the nation’s leading magazine written by and for land conservationists that is available quarterly to Land Trust Alliance members and partners. The 42-page color magazine offers stories, tips and resources on the latest trends in land conservation.

Summer 2017 Issue
Imagine taking a group of students who have troubled lives to an outdoor classroom, seeing firsthand how the peace of being in nature affects them. Then they ask you, “Is this a place where we can return on our own?” Is your heart breaking yet? In the summer issue of Saving Land, read how land trusts have established outdoor learning spaces for children to benefit from what many people take for granted: access to nature and land.
