Land Trust Standards and Practices

Return to Login

The Land Trust Standards and Practices represent the land trust movement's consensus on what it takes to operate a professional, ethical, and credible land trust. On LTAnet, you will find the full text of standards and practices, along with an updated and expanded selection of appendices with model documents, policies, checklists, and other publications.

LTA is encouraging land trusts to adopt and implement the Land Trust Standards and Practices (S&P), guidelines for the responsible operation of a land trust that is run legally, ethically, and in the public interest, and that conducts a sound program of land transactions and stewardship.
