North Carolina Coastal Land Trust
Accreditation Renewal
The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. The North Carolina Coastal Land Trust is pleased to announce it is applying for renewal of accreditation. A public comment period is now open. Your input is greatly appreciated.
The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, conducts an extensive review of each applicant’s policies and programs to ensure organizational operations are conducted in the most responsible manner possible at all times. The North Carolina Coastal Land Trust has chosen to apply for renewal of accreditation because its staff and Board are committed to ensuring that the organization is sustainable for the future. “The Board of Directors and staff are serious about being good stewards of the lands and funds entrusted to the Coastal Land Trust,” said Camilla M. Herlevich, Executive Director. “We want to continuously learn, improve and adapt, so that landowners, members and donors will find us to be ethical as well as effective. Today’s conservation decisions will have an impact for tomorrow, so we must be careful, thoughtful and strategic – especially here at the coast.”
The Commission invites public input and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications. Comments must relate to how the North Carolina Coastal 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, please see www.LandTrustAccreditation.org/help-and-resources/indicator-practices
