Celebrating Trails

John, Happy National Trails Day,

Our team is celebrating the trails across the country that help bring
communities together in myriad ways. And right now, you can still
double your impact to support this incredible work. Thanks to a
generous gift from Conservation Champion Alan Penczek, every gift will
be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $5,000 through midnight, June
2. 

DOUBLE MY GIFT

TPL's Director of National Trails Initiatives, J.T. Horn, speaks
enthusiastically about creating backcountry trails, but also
repurposing existing infrastructure into carbon-free transportation
corridors: "Trails are one of the ways we deliver great open
space in cities and rural communities," he says. "If
you're thinking about laying out a trail in an urban landscape,
existing linear features such as rail lines and utility rights-of-way
are one of the best ways to connect people, get them out of their
cars, achieve climate benefits, and increase access." Plus, he
adds, "when we are doing our best work, we can reunite
communities by changing the original narratives written by many rail
lines that historically divided communities."

From The 606 in Chicago, a former elevated rail line through an
industrial stretch of the city's northwest side, to Bizz Johnson
National Recreation Trail in Northern California,  and the
Cuyahoga-Lake Link Trail in Cleveland, we've amassed the
country's second-most prolific portfolio of rail trail projects.

Your support ensures that these trails, greenspaces, and public lands
continue to bring communities together-and remain places we can
access freely. Make sure your annual membership gift will be doubled
by giving before midnight on Sunday.

The next, most inspiring project we work on is waiting for your
matched support. Thanks for being a part of it. 

Sincerely,
The Trails Team @ Trust for Public Land
