John,
I'm grateful that the work of The Trust for Public Land to
create new places for everyone to get outside has not slowed down due
to the current situation. We've protected 12 new places in just
the last six weeks - including creating a new state park with
our partners in Colorado. This is because of the commitment from our
members and public land advocates like you.

Let me share with you a project that we completed just two weeks
ago in central Vermont. Working with the Stowe Land Trust, the Vermont
Department of Forests, and other partners we permanently protected the
Hunger Mountain Headwaters - 1,877 acres of land that was at
risk of being sold and developed. The land will now be part of C.C.
Putnam State Forest - securing critical wildlife habitat,
protecting the Winooski River Watershed, and ensuring access to
popular hiking destinations.
This expansion of protection of the Worcester Range - one of
the only undeveloped mountain ranges in the area without a ski area or
bisecting roads - will safeguard that sense of wildness and
exceptional outdoor experiences just minutes away from the capital,
and the recreational hubs of Waterbury and Stowe.
I'm especially pleased that this project was completed during
this time of uncertainty, when access to trails and vast public lands
will be an essential part of our mental and emotional health, as well
as our recovery, allowing us to reconnect to nature and our
communities.
The Trust for Public Land is committed to protecting 1 million
acres of land over the next five years, everything from forests to
prairie land to seashores and riverfronts, but we are dependent on our
members and supporters for that to happen. I hope you'll take
advantage of #GivingTuesdayNow and make a tax-deductible contribution
of $35 or whatever you can afford to our work protecting land and
building parks for people.

And remember, as soon as you make your donation, it will be matched
two for one, which means it will be able to do three times as much to
support all our vital work.

The Trust for Public land is a non-profit organization. Even in the
best of times, the resources we need in order to operate - as
well as our very survival - are completely dependent on the
generosity of people like you. We've achieved great progress
with your help thus far. Please make your #GivingTuesdayNow gift
- which will be tripled - to sustain our vital work through any challenges ahead.

Thank you for being a changemaker for public lands and your
support of The Trust for Public Land.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Director of Membership
