Strengthening Land Trusts. Advancing Land Conservation.

Join the Land Trust Alliance for a timely policy update addressing critical developments affecting land trusts. With a new Congress and administration, in addition to recent IRS updates to Treasury regulations, there's a lot to unpack. Hear the latest insights from Lori Faeth, Senior Director of Government Relations, and Diana Norris, Conservation Defense Network and Tax Manager, and get your questions answered.

The Land Trust Alliance, in partnership with MLTC, will host an 8-part virtual leadership and management training program for executive directors. This cohort-based experience will give staff leadership an opportunity to build their skills and bolster organizational effectiveness. In addition to the highly interactive sessions, the program also includes work on an organization-specific improvement project and the opportunity to sign up for one-on-one coaching sessions. 

The focus of this quarter's call will be a look back on 2024 fundraising successes & challenges, and to share plans for 2025. We'll also confirm interest in meeting in person over lunch at the Land Conservation Conference on Friday, March 21 at UMass Amherst.

This three-part series will provide information, tools, and peer support to help land trusts understand how they could manage lands under their direct stewardship in ways that mitigate and/or adapt to current and projected climate change impacts. The goal is to provide examples and manageable, actionable suggestions that may already be in their toolboxes to build confidence to tackle the challenge.
