Land Trust for America (LTA) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the conservation and protection of land and natural resources in their native environment. LTA (originally named Audubon Environmental Land Trust) received IRS Tax Exempt qualification as a 501-C3 tax exempt organization, with an effective date of exemption of June 29, 2007. LTA was formed in summer 2007 by a group of like-minded professionals with a passion for preserving and conserving land in its natural state. As new land uses continue to take more land from natural areas, opportunities arise to protect ecologically significant land parcels by creating easements or preserves within these developments. LTA is working with land owners to further their own desire to preserve and conserve land by creating opportunities to preserve connected natural lands. While larger land conservation groups have been more interested in larger parcels of land, LTA sees opportunities with parcels of any size to provide valuable conservation and preservation communities. LTA exercises its ability to protect and preserve the heritage of the land we live in and around through several means, including conservation easements, accepting fee simple gifts of land, promotion of citizen participation in natural resource conservation, and facilitation of other public and private efforts in those same interests. LTA protects and conserves land by working with landowners who wish to donate or sell conservation easements (permanent deed restrictions that prevent harmful or undesired land uses), or by acquiring land outright to maintain working farms, forests, wilderness, or other natural areas. LTA is pursuing conservation opportunities throughout the United States.
