National accreditation is a mark of distinction, showing that a land trust meets national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. Accreditation is a voluntary program administered by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance.
Jefferson Land Trust first earned accreditation in 2009. We renewed our accreditation in 2015 and we are now applying for the second renewal of our accreditation. During this renewal, the Accreditation Commission will conduct an extensive review of our policies and programs.
The Commission invites public input and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications. Comments must relate to how Jefferson Land Trust complies with national quality standards. These standards address the ethical and technical operation of a land trust. Click here for the full list of standards.
Comments on Jefferson Land Trust’s application will be most useful by April 12, 2020.
