The Northcoast Regional Land Trust (NRLT) is excited to announce that we have successfully renewed our accreditation with the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance. This means we continue to meet the highest national standards for protecting land and ensuring our work endures.
NRLT was first accredited in 2012, and this latest renewal underscores our enduring commitment to the highest standards in conservation excellence and public trust. Accreditation is a rigorous process that evaluates our practices across several critical areas, including land stewardship, financial management, and organizational governance.
“Renewing our accreditation emphasizes our ongoing dedication to our mission and commitment to ensure the wild and working lands in our region are managed and protected. This means special places like the Wagner Forest and Butte Creek Ranch will be conserved for current and future generations,” said Susan Moranda, NRLT Board President. “As an accredited land trust, the Northcoast Regional Land Trust employs policies and practices to assure our conservation work is permanent.”
We are proud to continue as part of the distinguished network of over 450 accredited land trusts across the nation, representing the highest level of excellence in land conservation. Only 37% of land trusts in the United States have achieved this mark of distinction, and we are honored to be among them.
Thank you for your ongoing support as we continue this important work. Together, we are making a lasting difference protecting the lands we love.
