The land trust census is produced by the Land Trust Alliance based on information from America's land trusts. It is conducted every five years with the information just released highlighting a five-year period ending in 2010. The data reflect national and state-by-state trends among land trusts, nonprofit organizations that work with landowners on agreements - conservation easements - that protect working farms, ranches and forests.
