Land Trust Statement of Principles Resolution, a document which holds

Statement of Principles Resolution
We, as members of Wisconsin’s land trust
community, dedicate ourselves to the protection of local,
regional and statewide natural resources which contribute to the
ecological, social and economic well being
of our communities. Our goals are established and our actions are
taken with a long term vision for resource
conservation. As private, non-profit organizations, we have an
obligation to provide a public benefit and
therefore strive to avoid any conflict of interest or provide any
private benefit to any of our Board members,
members, or other individuals.
We pledge to conduct our land protection and
organizational activities under the highest professional
standards and in accordance with the Land
Trust Alliance’s
Standards and Practices. We acknowledge the
trust placed upon us by our donors, landowner partners and the
public by being fiscally responsible, by
always considering our long term responsibility to the lands we
protect and by building sustainable, capable
land trust organizations. In addition, we pledge to foster open
and productive relationships with
landowners, our fellow land trusts and the general public.
We strive to undertake only those actions which
enhance the reputation and credibility of the land
trust community. When appropriate, we work cooperatively with other
land trusts, government agencies,
private individuals and conservation organizations to accomplish
high quality, lasting conservation of
important natural resources.
In recognition of these ideas, our organization
resolves to adopt this Statement of Principles as a
guide to our continuing conservation work.
