“I’ve been in the land conservation world for about 15 years now and I’ve worked with all sorts of organizations, big and small. �e Alliance is a team of the most dedicated and skilled conservationists and I’m proud to support their work. Supporting the Alliance also feels like coming full circle for me, as I was taken on by Russ Shay as a legal intern many moons ago. Russ and many others at the Alliance inspired me to make land conservation my life’s work.”

After we were accredited I heard from several board members that making accreditation announcement and thank-you calls to donors gave them more pleasure than almost any other task they’ve been assigned. Each and every donor was truly excited about our accomplishment. On two speci�c calls, the donors said they were right in the midst of making decisions about year-end giving and indicated they would be increasing their gifts because of the news.

“�e Land Trust Alliance plays a vital role in ensuring that land trusts across the country have the tools they need to permanently protect these special places. It is that broad impact that inspires my support as a member of the Guardians of the Land. �e Alliance educates thousands of practitioners through Rally and its online tools. It is helping hundreds of land trusts rise to new levels of professionalism. Its policy work helps ensure the vitality and longevity of those organizations. As a conservation easement donor, it is reassuring to know that the Alliance is hard at work. Its small sta� is making an outsized impact on conservation.”
