The Land Trust Alliance is a national organization in the United States that supports land trusts in their efforts to conserve land. Founded in 1982, it provides resources, training, and advocacy to help protect natural and cultural resources. The Alliance promotes best practices and helps land trusts collaborate with local communities and governments. Through its initiatives, the Land Trust Alliance aims to strengthen the land conservation movement. It works to ensure that land trusts have the tools and knowledge needed to effectively preserve important landscapes, such as forests, wetlands, and agricultural lands, for future generations.
