After a rigorous review of KLT's extensive documentation, the Land Trust Accreditation Commission has found that KLT upholds the highest standards of 

 

  • SOUND FINANCES

 

  •  ETHICAL CONDUCT

 

  •  RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE

 

  •  LASTING STEWARDSHIP.  

 

Keweenaw Land Trust is excited to share that our accreditation status has been renewed in 2024.  KLT was first accredited in 2019 and has been made a stronger organization by engaging in the process of accreditation every five years. The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, conducts an extensive review of each applicant’s policies and programs. Together, land trusts have established a set of guidelines for how to run a land trust responsibly: Land Trust Standards and Practices (the Standards). These guidelines describe how to operate a land trust legally, ethically and in the public interest, with a sound program of land transactions and land stewardship. The Keweenaw Land Trust voluntarily adopts the standards and practices of the Land Trust Alliance to assure our members and donors that their support of our conservation work will last forever.
