Our Mission To support and advance professional excellence in voluntary private land conservation for people and nature.

All members of ICOLT comply with the Land Trust Alliance Standards and Practices as a condition of membership. The Standards and Practices are organizational operating guidelines that ensure professional integrity and quality. Upholding these standards helps Idaho’s conservation organizations meet their perpetual responsibility to uphold the conservation values of Idaho’s irreplaceable landscapes. Thirteen of ICOLT's members are also accredited by the national Land Trust Accreditation Commission, a certification of excellence, trust and permanence.
