The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. The Bitter Root Land Trust is pleased to announce it is applying renewal of accreditation. A public comment period is now open.
BRLT Earns National Award
Announced at Rally 2023: The National Land Conservation Conference, the BRLT was awarded the 2023 Land Trust Excellence Award by the Land Trust Alliance. Selected out of 1,000 partner land trusts across the country for work in multiple areas, including our partnership with the Right to Farm and Ranch Board and the $10M renewal of the Ravalli County Open Lands Bond Program, this national recognition was undoubtedly earned by the Bitterroot community – the families who have left a legacy of conserved lands, the many members of our community who contribute time, money and volunteer hours to make these projects possible, and the voters of Ravalli County who have invested in leaving a legacy of open lands for the future.
