Thousand Islands Land Trust

Thousand Islands Land Trust (TILT) is a non-profit organization based in Clayton, New York. The organization employs 9 people and generates approximately $2.5 million in annual revenue. TILT focuses on preserving the natural beauty and ecological integrity of the Thousand Islands region. They achieve this through various methods, including accepting conservation easements, acquiring land outright, and establishing public access areas. The organization currently protects over 13,000 acres of land, encompassing diverse habitats such as wetlands, grasslands, and woodlands. To engage the community and promote conservation, TILT offers programs like TILTreks, KidsTreks, and TILTKids Day Camp. These initiatives encourage public interaction with the protected lands and foster environmental awareness. TILT also emphasizes transparency by providing financial information on Guidestar.org. TILT's commitment to excellence is reflected in its accreditation by the Land Trust Alliance Accreditation Commission, awarded in 2009, 2014, and 2019.
