If Christmas and New Year's get eves,
John, why not Giving
Tuesday? Certainly, such an inspiring day deserves a little extra love
and attention. It's only the single biggest global giving day for
causes near and dear to our hearts!
So, we're calling it-it's Giving Tuesday Eve. And to make this
year's GTE extra special, some of our donors are offering to match
your gift not once, not twice, but five times over-but only
through midnight tonight!
Make your Giving Tuesday gift one day early to have it matched
5X >>

Not only will your gift quintuple in impact, it will count towards our
ambitious goal: to inspire at least 1,300 Trust for Public Land
members to participate in Giving Tuesday this year. That would beat
last year, John, and show
just how committed our members are to providing the benefits of
protected public land to all.

There are many reasons why I think a Giving Tuesday gift to Trust for
Public Land is a great investment of your hard-earned dollars,
John, but I'm just going
to share one right now.
You know that land conservation is important. It's beneficial
for reasons of climate, wildlife, recreation, and health. The list
goes on. But we aren't just conserving land here; we're intentionally
investing in the next generation of conservationists-to keep
conservation going strong and ensure that it evolves to meet the needs
of the day. We do this through a program called Generation Now, or
"Gen Now."
Gen Now refers to the people we hire and specially train as early
career conservationists. On top of the usual onboarding any new hire
receives, Gen Now staff get mentorship from senior colleagues, meet
monthly to create community as younger conservationists, and
participate in seminars to help learn the niche aspects of
conservation, like how to navigate large real estate deals.
Structuring our work with younger staff as a program also gives us a
great way to hear their ideas and concerns. That two-way dialogue is
crucial to the future of conservation.
Give now to 5X match your gift for Giving Tuesday-before this
very generous match offer expires at midnight >>

Hayden Smith is a Gen Now colleague of mine. He's had several
formative experiences since joining TPL. We called to offer him a job
during his wedding (rightly so, it went to voicemail). He helped
secure nearly 750 acres to create the Wolcott Community Forest in
Vermont. And now he's a dad, all in two years!
"I definitely think [parenthood] provides a whole new perspective on
the type of work we do," Hayden says. "Even though Charlie is not yet
in school, I realize now more than ever the importance of providing
children safe and equitable access to nature and giving them
opportunities to get out of the classroom."
When finished, the Wolcott Community Forest will put a protected
forest within walking distance of an elementary school, creating
outdoor learning and recreational opportunities for hundreds of
students. It will also protect migration corridors for threatened
wildlife. And, of course, let nature be nature.

We're thrilled to have Hayden (and his young family!) engaged in our
work-and thrilled to help foster the conservation impact of so
many more Gen Now colleagues. With devastating news about climate
change and its impacts hitting us day after day, it's inspiring to see
so many young people engage in conservation with the urgency of today.
Support Hayden's work in Wolcott Community Forest and the work of so
many other Trust for Public Land conservationists with a quite
powerful 5X matched gift for Giving Tuesday Eve >>

P.S. We do our best not to ask members for gifts who just made a gift,
but sometimes our records don't update fast enough to keep recent
donors from receiving an appeal like this. So, if you did just give,
thank you for your support, and our apologies for the extra request!
