Land Trust for Louisiana

Land Trust for Louisiana Land Trust for Louisiana works to protect our state’s irreplaceable lands and waters using tools like conservation easements.

In operation since 2005, we currently have almost 15,000 acres in conservation all over Louisiana. Established October 7, 2004, the Land Trust for Southeast Louisiana (LTSL) began as a grassroots organization with a mission to protect the state's natural resources. After a decade of success and growth in scope, the organization changed its name to reflect its wider mission. The Land Trust for Loui

siana (LTL) is an accredited 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that works with community partners to create a sustainable natural environment through land donations, conservation easements, or purchases. We've established many types of partnerships to preserve sensitive natural areas, farmland, ranch lands, urban communities, water sources, cultural resources, and notable landmarks - in perpetuity. In the summer 2014, LTL launched its Urban Lands Initiative, a program focused on preserving open green spaces in urban environments to promote community identity and improve storm water management. As a local organization, LTL satisfies a niche that larger national organizations cannot meet. Larger land trusts cannot always capitalize on smaller land preservation opportunities. Thanks to its grassroots origins and strong local ties, LTL is well-equipped to protect these smaller, yet equally important, natural resources. We regularly conduct community outreach and education so that citizens can be aware of the benefits that come with land preservation.
