Accreditation is awarded to land trusts meeting the highest national standards for excellence and conservation permanence. To achieve Accreditation, Litchfield Land Trust is in the process of completing a rigorous review and audit. Upon completion, we will join a national network of Land Trust organizations united by strong ethical practices.
