John, as we close in on the end of the year, I've
been looking back at the stories we've been able to tell thanks to
your support. For the last 50 years, Trust for Public Land has worked
to bring projects as diverse as

and Midway Peace Park:[link removed]

to life.

And just this year alone we've been part of even more stories of
communities coming together to prioritize outdoor access. Below are
just a few examples of the kind of work we made happen together in
2023.

by Amy McCullough
Published February 13, 2023

We know that green spaces are good for our mental and physical
health. And we know that they have the power to combat the
effects of climate change by capturing rainwater and carbon and
cooling our cities. But did you know parks, trails, public lands, and
schoolyards often facilitate social and environmental justice, as
well? This roundup of TPL projects exemplifies just how much green
spaces can achieve-often simultaneously.

Coffee Talk

Published April 3, 2023

In the High Plains of Colorado, the local community -
including many immigrants and refugees - is taking the lead
in renovating Delta Park. Inspired by memories of home and fueled by
caffeine and tasty snacks, residents meet regularly to envision the
future of their nearby green space. Learn more about the
community coming together to reimagine acres of untapped green space.

I hope these stories inspire you as much as they inspire me,
John. They demonstrate the heart of our
organization and the people who support us. By being part of this
movement, you're helping make a difference and change
communities across the country for the better. I'm glad you're with
us!
