The Land In Trust program supplies LEED ND credits across Canada, including:

Under the LEED 2009 for Neighborhood Development standard, five credits can be obtained for protecting, restoring and managing wildlfe habtiat.  We provide these credits through one of the many organizations within the Canadian Land Trust Alliance (CLTA) across Canada.

These LEED for Neighborhood Development Smart Location and Linkage SLL credits usually require an individually tailored contract to address the specifics of the site involved in the project.  The closest land trust to the project will supply the credit.  The cost of these credits will vary depending upon the nature and the amount of work involved.

Land In Trust is a program that provides a simple, standardized process for LEED projects to acquire credits from CLTA member land trusts.  Due to the nature of LEED Neighborhood Development credits, they can currently only be provided in Canada.
