From Huntington, Vermont, to Mount Taylor in New Mexico, Trust for Public Land is working to protect land from development and, in the process, fight climate change. Land conservation not only counters extreme heat, flooding, and wildfire risk; it locks up carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas fueling climate change. |
