Accreditation process


The Land Conservancy of West Michigan was selected by the national Land Trust Accreditation CommissionLand Trust Accreditation Commission to apply for accreditation. The accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever.

The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, conducts an extensive review of each applicant’s policies and programs.

“Gaining accreditation is a high priority for the LCWM,” says Board Chair Penny Ladd. “It’s important for people who entrust their land to us or who support us financially to know that we maintain the highest standards and utilize the best practices developed by land trusts throughout the country.”
