“Our commitment to conservation began in Maine more than 40 years ago. Inspired by the work of local land trusts in rural eastern Maine, we expanded our interest and participation to statewide, national and eventually international conservation work. As members of the National Council, we see the benefit of the Land Trust Alliance’s guidance and leadership throughout the country.”
—Les and Joyce Coleman, National Council, Land Trust Alliance

“What we leave behind us and conserve for our future generations is a gift that never ends. We support the Land Trust Alliance because it has been the major force in educating our legislators to understand the importance of non-government land conservation. Furthermore, the accreditation program, as well as Terrafirma, validate the legitimacy of this movement. We talk about forever. Terrafirma is the vehicle to guarantee that.”

“When I volunteered for my local land trust, I went to the Land Trust Alliance’s Rally to learn how to run our organization better. I discovered a national community joined together by a common mission—not just to preserve and protect land, but also to reach out to each other, to share experiences, resources and expertise—with the belief that the strength and integrity of each land trust was intimately connected to the success and integrity of all others. This ‘lifting of all boats’ appealed to Henry and me enormously. The permanent preservation of wild places is very important to us. When we support the Alliance, we feel that we are strengthening land trusts across the country, including our very own land trusts in Rhode Island.”
—Julie Sharpe, National Council, Land Trust Alliance
