Expanding The Legacy

We honor the legacy of those stewards of the land that came before us and have faith in those stewards of the land that will come after us. The North Carolina-based Black Family Land Trust (BFLT) is one of the nation’s only conservation land trusts dedicated to the preservation and protection of African-American and other historically under-served landowner assets. The BFLT utilizes the core principles of land conservation and land-based community economic development to achieve their goals. They measurably improve the quality of life for landowners by providing families with the tools necessary to make informed, proactive decisions regarding their land and its use. The BFLT works primarily in the Southeastern United States, and their programs are intergenerational in their design. Join us as host Chris Smith interviews BFLT Executive Director Ebonie Alexander and takes your questions live!
