The Tiverton Land Trust is pleased to announce that it is applying for accreditation renewal. TLT was last re-accredited in 2019. A public comment period on TLT’s renewal application 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. Accreditation is a “Stamp of Approval” from the Land Trust Alliance, showing our community that we are committed to operating at the highest standards in our work of land preservation and conservation permanence.

The Commission invites public input and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications. Comments must relate to how Tiverton 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.

To learn more about the accreditation program and to submit a comment, visit www.landtrustaccreditation.org, or email your comment to info@landtrustaccreditation.org. Comments may also be mailed to the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, Attn: Public Comments, 36 Phila Street, Suite 2, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. 

Comments on Tiverton Land Trust’s application will be most useful before September 20th.
