Meet The ACLT
At the Alliance of Canadian Land Trusts (ACLT), we are dedicated to protecting Canada’s most vital landscapes through the stewardship and conservation of private land. Representing about 150 local and regional land trusts across the country, we work to ensure that future generations can experience the natural beauty and biodiversity that make Canada unique.
Our members are passionate about preserving the lands that matter most to Canadians—whether it’s lush forests, vibrant wetlands, or expansive grasslands. Through collaboration with communities, Indigenous groups, and partners, ACLT is committed to fostering a collective approach to land conservation.
