First conducted in 2000 and now updated for 2022, the Land Trust Salaries and Benefits Survey is the only comprehensive source of staff compensation data exclusively for the land trust community.

The most recent report was released on November 9, 2022 and includes data from 343 organizations from 44 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. This survey provides a useful snapshot of what land trusts are paying their staff and what benefits they offer, but care should be taken in interpreting these results for your organization or staff.

Our sincere thanks to all of the organizations who generously contributed their time and effort to provide us your data. The Land Trust Alliance salaries and benefits survey is conducted every two to three years.
