Conservation Florida, the boots-on-the-ground land conservation trust of Florida, is delighted to announce that it has successfully been reaccredited by the prestigious Land Trust Alliance.
This remarkable achievement solidifies our dedication to upholding the highest standards for land conservation programs.
"We are incredibly proud to have earned reaccreditation from the Land Trust Alliance," said Traci Deen, CEO of Conservation Florida. "This achievement serves as a testament to our unwavering dedication to responsible land conservation and sustainable practices."
The accreditation process is a rigorous evaluation of a land trust's policies, practices, and operations, ensuring they align with national quality standards. By meeting or exceeding these criteria, we have demonstrated our commitment to conserving Florida's wild and working landscapes and fostering a functional Florida Wildlife Corridor.
"Accreditation from the Land Trust Alliance not only validates our work but also provides numerous benefits for our organization and the communities we serve," said Frances Nevill, director of External Affairs and Strategic Communications for Conservation Florida. "It bolsters public confidence in our ability to protect valuable lands from development, preserve biodiversity, and enhance recreational opportunities. The accreditation serves as a hallmark of excellence and sets us apart as a trusted, accountable partner in land conservation initiatives."
In addition to maintaining high standards, the Land Trust Alliance provides invaluable resources, training, and networking opportunities to further stretch the organization's reach. Through collaboration with other accredited land trusts across the country, they can share best practices, exchange ideas, and collectively make a greater impact.
As we celebrate this significant milestone, we extend our gratitude to our dedicated staff, volunteers, supporters, and partners who have played an instrumental role in helping us achieve reaccreditation from the Land Trust Alliance.
Conservation Florida remains committed to safeguarding our precious lands for future generations, ensuring that wild Florida remains wild.
