The Louisville and Jefferson County Environmental Trust protects land for future generations through voluntary cooperative programs. Created in 1997, the Trust helps to implement the goals of Louisville Metro's Comprehensive Plan, Plan 2040, that relate to parks and natural areas, greenways, historic sites and farmland. The Trust’s nine-member Oversight Board consists of five citizens and four members who represent government agencies responsible for public land. The Trust’s staff is housed at Metro Public Works. In a unique cooperative arrangement, technical expertise and staff support are also provided by staff in Metro Parks and Recreation, Metro Planning and Design Services, Metropolitan Sewer District and the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office.
