Eagle Valley Land Trust is pleased to announce it is applying for renewal of accreditation. 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. Executive Director, Jessica Foulis explains that EVLT is honored to be trusted by our community to conserve the lands we love forever and for the benefit of all.
