Licking land trust
Stakeholder Notification | Public Notice

The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. The Licking Land Trust is pleased to announce it is applying for renewal of accreditation. Awarded Land Trust Alliance accreditations expire after 5 years, so land trusts must apply for reaccreditation. A public comment period is now open.

The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, conducts an extensive review of each applicant’s policies and programs. "As a local organization serving the community, we must demonstrate a high standard of excellence and adherence to our policies, standards, and practices which national leadership has shown to promote integrity and permanence in land conservation," says Board Chairman, Jim Bidigare. 

The Commission invites public input and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications. Comments must relate to how the Licking Land Trust complies with national quality standards. These standards address the ethical and technical operation of a land trust. For the full list of standards see http://www.landtrustaccreditation.org/help-and-resources/indicator-practices.
