World Nature Conservation Day won't be the same without you,
Friend

Friend, we all know a healthy environment is vital
for thriving, healthy communities. That's why today, like so many
others across the globe, we're celebrating World Nature Conservation
Day, and advancing the work to ensure the well-being of our
environment for future generations.

Will you power the movement to strengthen climate resiliency in our
communities and conserve beloved green spaces with a renewed gift
today?

Climate solutions may seem daunting, but with you by our side,
we'll never shy away from the enormity of the challenge. Since
our founding, we've conserved over 4 million acres of land. And those
lands store almost 175 million metric tons of carbon, equivalent to
the emissions from 72 billion gallons of gasoline.

We've already accomplished great things in:

Northeastern Vermont, where we partnered with the Town of Huntington
and the Vermont Land Trust to create the 245-acre Huntington Community
Forest. The forest protects wetlands, river corridors, and headwater
streams, absorbing rainfall and reducing the frequency and severity of
floods in the Huntington River Watershed. It also stores an estimated
23,636 metric tons of carbon and captures an additional 50 metric tons
per year.

Whitefish, Montana, where we helped residents conserve 3,020 acres of
working timberland on the outskirts of town. Now permanently protected
from future development, residents will continue to have clean,
abundant water for generations. The land also stores an estimated
127,000 metric tons of carbon and captures an additional 480 metric
tons each year.

The Pacific Northwest, where we actively protect large landscapes with
Douglas firs, hemlocks, alders, and bigleaf maples which outperform
other trees on the carbon front. For the past 30 years, TPL has
partnered with forest owners and the Washington State Department of
Natural Resources to protect thousands of acres of forests around
Puget Sound. These areas will remain in active timber production but
will allow trees to grow longer and bigger, increasing their ability
to capture carbon.

Those are just a few stories of the incredible progress we've made
together toward a healthier world, but we know more work is urgently
needed. We're all experiencing hotter temperatures, bigger storms, and
wildfires that start more easily. TPL has set big, ambitious goals to
make communities across the country more climate resilient, but we
can't do it without your help.

Join us on World Nature Conservation Day and make a renewed gift to
Trust for Public Land. Your support will go right to work on climate
resiliency and other projects aimed at conserving, protecting, and
preserving our public lands.
