Land trust accreditation recognizes organizations that meet national quality standards. Accordingly, the Land Trust Accreditation Commission publishes a notice of decisions to award accreditation or renewed accreditation approximately 30 days after each meeting.

The Commission has multiple decision-making meetings per year, and land trusts that apply in the same application round are reviewed on different timelines. In addition, the Commission does not publish the names of organizations that have withdrawn from the process or that were not awarded accreditation or renewed accreditation. Information about where land trusts are in the review process and reasons for awarding or not awarding accreditation to individual land trusts are confidential to the Commission.
