The Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit founded in 2002 to address park inequities by focusing on communities of color with limited access to green space. Since its founding, LANLT has helped create 30 urban parks and community gardens, adding more than 21 acres of accessible green space and serving over 500,000 Angelenos within a 10-minute walk of these spaces. The organization plans to add another 8+ acres by the end of 2026 across Los Angeles County. LANLT uses a community development model that engages residents from early design through construction and ongoing stewardship, and it pursues equitable green space development through grassroots policy reform. It operates in a context where Los Angeles faces uneven access to parks, with the city ranking poorly among large U.S. cities for park access and investment. In May 2026, LANLT formed a partnership with the Los Angeles Convention Center to extend sustainability efforts and support biodiversity and beautification across neighborhoods.
