The Platte Land Trust is an all-volunteer organization with a mission of protecting land, natural resources, and open space in the four-corners area of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa for the benefit of today’s communities and future generations
Achieving the mission
♦ Protect open spaces, agriculture land and natural resources vital to our community with conservation easements or acquisition.
♦ Advocate for a balance of open space and development for quality communities.
♦ Promote the use of native plants in our yards and landscapes to support wildlife.
♦ Encourage people to spend time outdoors – at natural areas, gardens, and parks and recreation areas.
♦ Inform people on the economic, health, and quality of life benefits of conservation.
♦ Partner with others to achieve land conservation and recreation goals.
Focusing our Resources
♦ Lands and habitat critical to important plant and animal species – woods and forest along our river and stream corridors; native grasslands; savannahs and woods.
♦ Lands important to communities – working farm and ranch lands; urban agriculture land; places with historical importance.
♦ Programs, projects and events on native plants plus invasive plants taking over habitats
