Guide Book
Starting A Community Land Trust: Organizational and Operational Choices
This 92-page guidebook written by John E. Davis and published by Burlington Associates provides a comprehensive overview of many of the key choices that organizers of new CLTs face. Rather than providing a “recipe” for forming a new CLT, it lays out some of the pros and cons of some of the key alternatives. The entire book can be reproduced for committee members and other key stakeholders and individual chapters can be reproduced and used as handouts at key stages in the organizing process.

A print copy of the book can be ordered here.
