ACCREDITATION
A mark of distinction, in 2010 Big Waters was first officially accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent commission of land conservation experts. The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever.
After our initial accreditation, we were reaccredited in 2016, then awarded renewed accreditation for another five years on August 30, 2022. This designation signifies that Big Waters meets national standards of excellence, upholds the public’s trust, and ensures permanent conservation efforts.
“It is exciting to recognize Big Waters’ continued commitment to national standards by renewing this national mark of distinction,” said Melissa Kalvestrand, executive director of the Land Trust Accreditation Commission. “Donors and partners can trust that the more than 450 accredited land trusts across the country are united behind strong standards and have demonstrated sound finances, ethical conduct, responsible governance, and lasting stewardship.”
