OUR MISSION To conserve and preserve open spaces and natural resources so that everyone may enjoy them, now and forever. Swift action is the cornerstone of implementing our mission. When opportunities for land conservation arise, financial and legal resources are often needed on very short notice. Local land trusts and stewards often miss out on important preservation opportunities because they lack immediate access to money or legal assistance, and national land trust organizations are not always able to react quickly.
The LCA Trust can respond with emergency funding and legal assistance in these situations—often making resources available within 24 hours. Read More

Understand Google Adwords?We are trying to create and implement our Google Grant Adwords campaign. We need help! If you are conversant in Google Adwords, please lend us some of your time to help us get going -- just a little time will be invaluable. LCAT launches mobile-friendly blog platformWe love our graphically-rich blog at http://preserveland.org. It's quite stunning and, as they say, a picture tells a thousand words. That's especially true when we are highlighting beautiful places or spotlighting beautiful people who help preserve them. Those big graphics and the platform serving them up sometimes bog down your upload times so we have launched a parallel platform for our blog. If you want to see the images and posts without all the frameworks, join us on any PC or Apple based browser at HTTP://PRESERVELAND.NET. If you access that site from you mobile device, it will detect your mobile browser and serve it up nice and light and quick.
October 4, 2010 is World Habitat DayThe United Nations has designated the first Monday in October as annual World Habitat Day. World Habitat Day 2010 will be held on October 4. In recognition of World Habitat Day, Habitat for Humanity will raise awareness of the need for improved shelter and highlight Habitat’s priorities: the worldwide connection between human health and housing, and, in the United States, neighborhood revitalization. These themes echo the United Nations’ chosen theme for 2010 for events in the host city of Shanghai, China and the rest of the world: “Better City, Better Life.” Every week, more than a million people are born in, or move to, cities in the developing world. As a result, the urban population of developing countries will double from 2 billion to 4 billion in the next 30 years. (Kissick, et al: 2006)
