The Arizona Community Land Trust is changing how we live on the Earth. Aldo Leopold said it best, "We abuse the land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."

This new form of land tenure shifts our relationship from "dominance over" to one of "partnership with" the Earth. The community land trust (CLT) is a membership based nonprofit that holds land in community stewardship. In most cases, CLT land is used to provide people without access to land an opportunity to meet their needs for affordable housing and food production.
