Working in cooperation and collaboration with the local community, KLT's mission is accomplished by interacting with landowners and managers who voluntarily choose to protect their land. KLT consults and collaborates with private organizations and government to coordinate and optimize a variety of private and public resources. The objective of KLT is to furtherthe interests of landowners and land conservation through a variety oftools such as voluntary easements and land donations or purchases. [1]
