ACCREDITATION
The Trust for Virgin Islands Lands is accredited by an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance. The accreditation seal is a mark of distinction in land conservation. It is awarded to land trusts meeting the highest national standards for excellence and conservation permanence.
Each accredited land trust completes a rigorous review process and joins a network of organizations united by strong ethical practices. This trusted network of land trusts has demonstrated fiscal accountability, strong organizational leadership, sound transactions and lasting stewardship of the lands they conserve.
The seal is awarded by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance. The volunteers who serve on the Commission represent a diverse group of land conservation and nonprofit management experts from around the country. For more information please visit landtrustaccreditation.org.
The Trust for Virgin Islands Lands is guided by eight volunteer trustees, all residents of the Virgin Islands, and representing each of the V.I.'s three largest islands: St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas.
Our Trustees represent a broad range of interests and professions including small business owners, legal professionals, a botanical scientist and author, government and corporate professionals, a real estate agent and a construction project manager. They bring to TVIL an overarching land conservation ethic and a passion for the Virgin Islands that drives our organization forward.
