After a few years away due to COVID, the Land Trust Alliance’s Southeast Land Conservation Conference returned in 2023 to energize and educate the conservation community across the region once again. Staff and board members from land trusts and other conservation organizations converged on Chattanooga, Tenn., April 26-28 to share knowledge and reconnect with friends and colleagues.

Collectively, the Southeast’s 100+ land trusts have protected almost 9 million acres as of the Alliance’s 2020 Land Trust Census — a staggering growth of 43% from 2010 (compared to national growth of 33%). Events like the Southeast Conference will help us build on this great progress.
