The land trust accreditation program recognizes the need for public accountability for accredited land trusts. We encourage stakeholders (landowners, partners, donors, etc.) to submit comments about current applicants or accredited land trusts using the links below.
The following principles guide the Commission’s public comment process.
- Only written comments are accepted.
- You can use the links above or submit your comments via mail to 36 Phila Street, Suite 2, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 or email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
- All comments must be attributed. If the comment is shared with the land trust, the name of the commenter is kept confidential.
- Comments must relate to the land trust’s implementation of Land Trust Standards and Practices and accreditation requirements. The Commission does not intervene in internal disputes within accredited land trusts, disputes between land trusts, and disputes between land trusts and other individuals or agencies.

It's important to understand when each component of your accreditation application is due.
