FRLT's national accreditation renewed
Committed to public trust and conservation excellence
In August 2020, Feather River Land Trust achieved renewal of our national accreditation through the Land Trust Accreditation Commission. We’re one of 400 land trusts across the country (out of 1,363) that bear the seal of accreditation, signifying that we meet national standards for:
- Sound finances
- Ethical conduct
- Responsible governance
- Lasting stewardship
FRLT first achieved accreditation in 2015, and we’re required to re-apply every five years. We provided extensive documentation and underwent a comprehensive third-party evaluation—including public comment— prior to achieving this distinction. The Land Trust Accreditation Commission awarded FRLT renewed accreditation, demonstrating its confidence that the lands we conserve will be protected forever.
It is exciting to recognize Feather River Land Trust’s continued commitment to national standards by renewing this national mark of distinction. Donors and partners can trust the more than 400 accredited land trusts across the country are united behind strong standards and have demonstrated sound finances, ethical conduct, responsible governance, and lasting stewardship.

The accreditation seal
A mark of distinction
The seal identifies land trusts that meet national quality standards for excellence, uphold the public trust, and ensure that conservation efforts are permanent. Accreditation is a rigorous third-party evaluation that ensures that our conservation work can last legally and financially and benefit the public, forever.
