Make a $20,000 impact

John,

One of the most important days on the calendar is little more than a
week away.

Next Tuesday, the 20th, is The Trust for Public Land's
Giving Day - a day we set aside each year to ask nature lovers
all across the country to
do just a little bit more to help support America's public
lands.

You may already be familiar with the different categories into
which our work falls.

* We protect land for people.
* We build close-to-home parks where they're needed most.
* We help cities protect themselves against the effects of climate
change.

What you may not know is how much time and effort we put into each
of these areas, and the number of different projects each one
contains.

* From the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area in the
Pacific Northwest to Atlanta's Chattahoochee River
National Recreation Area ... from Rolston Rest in
Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest to the Ala
Kahakai National Historic Trail in Hawai'i ... we try
to be there, wherever public lands are threatened, whenever the
opportunity arises to protect land from reckless development.
* Our goal is to see to it that every single American has a
quality park or open space within a 10-minute walk of home. The
mayors of 276 different American cities have signed on to our
10-Minute Walk program, pledging to bring their cities up to
this standard.
* Cities as disparate as Los Angeles and New Orleans, as New York
City and Sandusky, Ohio, are already dealing with the effects of
climate change - flooding, wildfires, superstorms and
tornadoes, it's all happening now. That's why
we're helping them build green infrastructure to connect
trails and transit lines, lower temperatures, absorb rainwater,
and act as a buffer against rising seas.

We are grateful that our members make it possible for us to do so
much good work in so many different places. But every now and then, we
need just a little more help. So I hope you'll agree to do two
things right now:

1. Pledge to join The Trust for Public Land by making a
special donation on Giving Day.

2. After you do, you'll have the opportunity to share our
message with your social network.

Our nation's public lands are facing so many threats right
now ... 6,000 acres of open space are disappearing every single
day ... 100 million Americans don't have a nearby place in
which to experience nature ... rising sea levels and extreme
weather events are threatening so many of the places where we live
- please do your part by pledging to give and by urging
everyone you know to do the same.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Kim Elliot
Director of Membership

PLEDGE NOW
