A land trust is a community-based, nonprofit organization that works to permanently conserve land. Land trusts work in their communities to protect and preserve natural spaces forever, preventing future development. Their efforts help ensure that critical habitat is available for animals and plants, that communities have access to open spaces for everything from outdoor recreation to sustainable farming, and that ecosystem services, like a healthy water supply and carbon sequestration, are available to all.
