John,

Ah, love is in the air-the fresh air, that is. When it comes to
the outdoors, we're all a little smitten. This month, we'll show you a
few outdoor places we love, including this special new spot in one of America's most loved national parks! And before you go, take a minute to show your support for the Outdoors for All Act to ensure everyone, everywhere, can experience Mother Nature's
warm embrace. XOXO-Alana Fink, Trust for Public Land

Preserving Black History in Boston

[link removed]

The African Meeting House is one of Boston's most treasured buildings.
Constructed in 1806, it's America's oldest existing Black church. In
the late '90s, TPL stepped in to preserve the site and help turn it
into an education and cultural center. 

200 Acres Protected in Maine

[link removed]

In December, TPL permanently protected 200 acres-coined Talking
Brook Public Land-in New Gloucester and Auburn. Featuring scenic
brooks, waterfalls, and extensive trails, this piece of state public
land unlocks outdoor recreational opportunities while conserving
woodland, wetland, and wildlife habitats.

Clemmons Family Farm in Charlotte-Saved!

[link removed]

Preserving places such as Clemmons Family Farm in Vermont is crucial,
given that less than 0.5 percent of U.S. farms are African
American-owned. We're honored to support the farm, ensuring it remains
a space to celebrate African American heritage, art, and culture well
into the future. 

A Triumph for Zion National Park

[link removed]

Did you know that Zion National Park, one of the most visited and
treasured national parks, is threatened by nearly 3,500 acres of
private inholdings within its boundaries? These inholdings jeopardize
the wild character and natural experience for millions of annual
visitors, which is why we recently safeguarded Lambs Knoll near
Zion's west entrance so more people can continue to connect with
the beauty of this awe-inspiring landscape.

What Calls Zion Home?

[link removed]

Ranging in elevation from 3,000 to 8,000 feet-more than a
vertical mile-Zion National Park spans a huge range of habitats
and hosts diverse flora and fauna.

Sign Now: Advocate for the Outdoors for All Act

[link removed]

One-third of Americans lack access to a park within a 10-minute walk
of home. That's why we need your help to pass the Outdoors for All
Act, which will allocate funding to enhance outdoor recreational
opportunities, particularly in economically disadvantaged communities
and areas with limited park access. Urge Congress to pass the act
today!

Planned Giving

[link removed]

If you're 73 or older, you might be facing required minimum
distributions (RMDs) from your retirement accounts-and with 2023
ending on a positive note for the markets, your distributions might be
higher in 2024. Consider offsetting the impact on your taxes by making
a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to TPL. Your support helps
you manage your finances and helps us create healthy, livable
communities for generations to come.
