The Jefferson Land Trust is applying to renew its accreditation, and it’s inviting Jefferson County residents to submit feedback in support of renewing that accreditation.
The Jefferson Land Trust is accredited through the national land trust accreditation program, run by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance.
This accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet certain quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever.
The Jefferson Land Trust first received national accreditation in 2009, successfully renewed its accreditation in 2015 and 2020, and is applying for its third accreditation renewal in 2025.
The Land Trust Accreditation Commission not only conducts extensive reviews of each land trust’s policies and programs, but also invites public input, and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications.
This public comment period is now open, so the Jefferson Land Trust is inviting comments that relate to how it complies with national quality standards, which address the ethical and technical operation of a land trust, according to Richard Tucker, executive director of the Land Trust.
To learn more about the accreditation program and submit comments online, visit the landtrustaccreditation.org site, email comments to info@landtrustaccreditation.org or mail them to the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, Attn: Public Comments, 36 Phila St. Suite 2, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866.
The Jefferson Land Trust requests comments on its application be submitted by July 26.
