The power of Community Forests
John, International Day of Forests is tomorrow
(March 21), and two of our Conservation Champions want to ensure that
we all have access to forests and public lands.
Ken and Lindsay, Conservation Champions in New York's Hudson Valley,
will match your gift for this special day-but only if you
contribute before the midnight deadline.
This International Day of Forests, help create more places that bring
us outside. Make your MATCHED gift to Trust for Public Land today

Your gift will make double the impact on forests and their
communities, like:
Bear Ridge Community Forest | Ilwaco, Washington
Trust for Public Land partnered with the City of Ilwaco-a small,
rural town near the Washington-Oregon border-to purchase 380
forested acres within its local watershed to establish the Bear Ridge
Community Forest. By managing its community forest, Ilwaco will be
able to create trails for outdoor recreation and add sustainable
timber jobs. But above all, the city has permanently protected its
drinking water, ensuring Ilwaco remains a healthy, livable community
for generations to come. Ensure communities own and manage their
forests and watersheds, like the Bear Ridge Community Forest
project.>>
McKinleyville Community Forest | McKinleyville, California
With help from our partners, TPL protected 599 acres of Sitka spruce,
redwood, and Douglas fir forest on the edge of McKinleyville. Near the
heart of the town, this forest allows close-to-home access for a
community significantly lacking in park space. It's perfect for
a quick walk, a classroom trip, or an afternoon in the woods, as it
includes over 5 miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding, scouting
for wildflowers, or catching glimpses of wildlife. Build community
access to forests across the country.>>
Rumford Community Forest | Rumford, Maine
Trust for Public Land and partners helped a local nonprofit purchase
446 acres of land to become Rumford's first community forest.
The land is open to the public for year-round enjoyment and activities
like hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing and snowmobiling.
Rumford Community Forest connects to and enhances beloved local trails
such as the ITS-82, a popular snowmobiling trail network, and
Pennacook Area Community Trails, high-quality mountain bike trails.
Create paths for recreation and connection with your gift.>>
All of this was made possible by members stepping up to engage in the
important work of protecting shared forests. Your first gift
today-doubled by Ken and Lindsay, Conservation Champions in New
York's Hudson Valley-will support the power of community forests
from Oregon to Maine.
