Land Trust Accreditation. It’s a stamp of approval from our industry, a peer-review of our practices. It demonstrates we are following the highest standards as a land trust. It’s a benchmark for enduring conservation work.

We are pleased to announce that in late August, after a rigorous process lasting more than a year, DRA was officially recognized as an Accredited Land Trust by the national Land Trust Accreditation Commission.

“We take the promise of perpetuity – that we will care for our conservation lands ‘forever’ – very seriously,” notes DRA Executive Director Steven Hufnagel..

“An award of Accreditation suggests we are taking the necessary steps to make sure we are up to that challenge and we couldn’t be more pleased to be recognized as a peer by and with the best in the business.

“For our community, this means the lands we have conserved and made available to all stand the best chance of standing the test of time – so they can be here for generations to come!”
