Another Milestone for the Trust

The Peconic Land Trust and its affiliate, South Fork Land Foundation, have been awarded renewed accreditation by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission! Melanie Tebbens, Vice President, explained that the multi-year process was rigorous and thorough in reviewing all project transactions, policies, and financials since the first accreditation approval in 2019. The required Land Trust Alliance standards and practices verify Board governance and financial oversight function with integrity; conservation easement and land transactions are transparent, and stewardship responsibilities are taken seriously.

Accreditation is a mark of distinction, recognizing land trusts that meet the national quality standards established by the land conservation community.

Peconic Land Trust consistently practices according to standards that define a strong, effective organization you can trust to conserve your land forever.
