National Land Trust Accreditation Commission

The National Land Trust Accreditation Commission is an organization that evaluates and certifies land trusts—nonprofit groups dedicated to conserving land for public benefit. By achieving accreditation, these trusts demonstrate they meet high standards in practices such as land stewardship, financial management, and community involvement. Accreditation reassures donors, partners, and the public that the trust is effective and trustworthy, ensuring that protected lands are maintained for future generations. This process helps strengthen the overall credibility and effectiveness of land conservation efforts across the country.
