FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Land Conservancy announces that it is applying for renewal of accreditation with the Land Trust Alliance. The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. A public comment period is now open.

This distinction affirms that the FLC meets national quality standards, including sound financial practices, ethical conduct, responsible governance, and lasting stewardship.

The commission invites public input and accepts signed, written comments on pending applications. Comments must relate to how Fallbrook Land Conservancy complies with national quality standards. These standards address the ethical and technical operation of a land trust. For the full list of standards see http://www.landtrustaccreditation.org/help-and-resources/indicator-practices.
