The Land Trust Alliance has sponsored "Rally," a yearly conference of conservation professionals, since 1985.[4][5]
In 2012, the Land Trust Alliance set up an insurance company to assist regional land trusts with the legal defense of conservation easements.[6]
In 2021, the Land Trust Alliance expressed support for the 117th United States Congress' proposed "Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act", which is intended to prevent improper tax deductions for land trusts and encourage legitimate charitable contributions.[7]
