About Delta Land Trust Founded in 1987, Delta Land Trust is a non-profit conservation organization based in Madison, Mississippi with operations throughout Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Delta Land Trust has been saving the forests and farms you love sine 1987. Our purpose is to protect wildlife habitat and open space and research and promote sustainable economic development in the Ark-La-Miss region.
Whether the loss of wildlife habitat and open space results from
clearing of Delta hardwood forests for agriculture in the 1960s and 1970s or
from urban sprawl around Little Rock, Ft. Smith, New Orleans, Baton Rouge,
Shreveport, Jackson, Memphis or other cities in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, the
human residents of the Ark-La-Miss are rapidly losing the natural heritage that
previous generations took for granted. In the process, millions of acres of
wildlife habitat and productive farmland are being lost to development.
We promote smart growth based on the sustainable use of natural
resources. Perhaps Teddy Roosevelt said it best when he said, "The nation
behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which is must turn
over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value." With our
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM the Trust sponsors and conducts
economic studies and develops demonstration projects to illustrate sustainable
approaches to economic development in the Ark-La-Miss.
