Friend of Trust for Public Land,
Parks and green spaces play a crucial role in fostering healthy, connected, and resilient communities. Yet one-third of Americans—including 28 million children—lack access to a park within a 10-minute walk of home.
This striking statistic underscores the urgency of passing the Outdoors for All Act, legislation that will allocate funding to create and enhance outdoor recreational opportunities, particularly in historically disadvantaged urban communities and areas with limited access to parks and nature.
Let your members of Congress know that you support the Outdoors for All Act and its mission to create healthier, better connected, and more resilient communities today!
The Outdoors for All Act will—for the first time—extend program funding to Native American nations, Indigenous communities, and smaller rural communities. This inclusive approach aims to make hundreds more cities and towns eligible, helping to address gaps in park access across the country.
Friend, thank you for your unwavering dedication to increasing access to the outdoors nationwide.
Yours in conservation,
Sincerely,
