Buzzards Bay Coalition recognized by Land Trust Accreditation Commission

Apr 13, 2020

The Buzzards Bay Coalition has been again identified as one of the nation’s top conservation organizations by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission.

The commission renewed its land trust accreditation of the coalition, culminating a yearlong review of the organization’s practices. Of the more than 1,300 land trusts in the U.S., only 400 have received accreditation.

“We are very proud to be recognized again by the Land Trust Alliance for the care and quality of the work that we do,” said Coalition President Mark Rasmussen. “Land conservation and restoration is an essential part of our ongoing mission of protecting the health of our local coastal waters and the watershed lands that surround them.”

The accreditation process involves a review of the Coalition’s policies and processes to ensure that conservation land remains forever protected, as well as an in-depth third-party evaluation of practices.
