accreditation comments

Dear Stakeholders, Members, Supporters, and Friends,

The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. MOTHER LODE LAND TRUST is pleased to announce it is applying for accreditation renewal. 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. “Land Trust Accreditation has really helped our organization maintain proper records and finances, and stay in good standing with the local Land Trust community.” (Ellie Routt, Executive Director)

The Commission invites public input and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications. Comments must relate to how MOTHER LODE LAND TRUST 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.

To learn more about the accreditation program and to submit a comment, visit www.landtrustaccreditation.org, or email your comment to info@landtrustaccreditation.org. Comments may also be mailed to the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, Attn: Public Comments, 36 Phila Street, Suite 2, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. 

Comments on MOTHER LODE LAND TRUST’s application will be most useful by April 1st, 2023. You can also send comments or questions about our organization, directly to the Mother Lode Land Trust.  Direct correspondence to PO Box 1435, Jackson CA 95642 or email ellie.motherlodelandtrust@gmail.com

We thank you for your interest and continued support.

Ellie Routt

Executive Director
