If you are a small or all-volunteer land trust that is looking to get your record keeping in order, consider applying for the 2020-2021 Massachusetts
Record Keeping Initiative. Deadline is Tuesday, September 15.
The Massachusetts Land Trust Coalition (MLTC) and the Land Trust Alliance (LTA) are collaborating to offer direct assistance to small and all-volunteer land trusts to help strengthen their systems for creating, organizing, and backing up the records needed to defend protected lands in perpetuity. Six Massachusetts land trusts successfully completed the program in 2019-2020.
