The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. The Edisto Island Open Land Trust (EIOLT) is pleased to announce it is applying for our third renewal of accreditation in 2025. 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. EIOLT is proud to have achieved our first accreditation in 2009, and we have continued to renew this level of organizational review and oversight ever since.
The Commission invites public input and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications. Comments must relate to how EIOLT complies with national quality standards. These standards address the ethical and technical operation of a land trust.
