Captina Conservancy applies for national accreditation
The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. Captina Conservancy is pleased to announce it is applying for accreditation. A public comment period is now open.
The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, conducts an extensive review of each applicant’s policies and programs. Captina Conservancy has worked hard to build a strong organization in the ten years since our founding, and achieving accreditation will allow us to recognize that work and continue it well into the future.
The Commission invites public input and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications. Comments must relate to how Captina Conservancy complies with national quality standards. These standards address the ethical and technical operation of a land trust. For the full list of standards see http://www.landtrustaccreditation.org/help-and-resources/indicator-practices. Criteria include: responsible governance of the organization, protection of the public interest with sound and sustainable land transactions and stewardship, ethical operations, accountability to donors and the public, and compliance with all laws.
