FAQs
How does Wildlife Land Trust oversee the lands under its protection?
In addition to annual property reviews conducted by the Trust’s stewardship staff or our expert consultants, properties are monitored throughout the year by specially trained volunteer sanctuary monitors. These dedicated individuals oversee properties assigned to them and report any concerns that arise to our staff for follow-up.
Do all Trust sanctuaries have threatened, endangered or rare species living on them?
No. The Trust protects the homes of all species of wildlife living on our sanctuaries, not just those that are already endangered, threatened or rare. Many of our sanctuaries do provide safe homes for imperiled species, but our humane stewardship is a steadfast commitment to all wildlife on all Trust-protected lands. And, as wildlife biologists are discovering, many once common species are now seriously declining. This fact reveals the importance of valuing all wildlife and recognizing all wild animals deserve safe homes.

Charity rating
Charity Navigator has decided not to rate land trusts. Their statement says:
Why doesn’t Charity Navigator evaluate Land Trusts and Preserves anymore?
Due to the nature of their operations, land trusts and preserves have the potential to realize wild fluctuations in revenue from year to year due to inconsistencies associated with large land acquisitions and donations of valuable real property. To further complicate matters, within the sector there remains some disagreement as to how certain related expenses should be reported on the IRS Form 990. Inconsistent factors may yield inconsistent evaluations over time and so in keeping with our promise to provide reliable information and to evaluate all charities fairly, we have decided to no longer evaluate charities classified as Land Trusts and Preserves."
