John,

When you enjoy the simple pleasures of a park, you may not be thinking
about what's going on behind the scenes-or beneath the
surface-in service of climate resilience. But at TPL, we are. We
invite you to explore how your favorite green spaces are climate
superheroes in disguise.

Sign Now to Protect Our At-Risk Forests

[link removed]

Our forests face unprecedented threats: real estate development,
unsustainable timber harvesting, and megafires driven by climate
change. These supersized fires, which burn more than 100,000 acres at
a time, were once very rare but now occur every year. We cannot stand
by and watch as our forests are destroyed acre by acre. Take action
now and demand that Congress protect our forests today!

A Ship Graveyard for Your Spooky Paddling
Pleasure

On the Maryland side of the Potomac River sits an unused armada from
World War I-or what's left of it. Now considered an
irrevocable part of the ecosystem, the ghostly remains of
these ships make for an unusual place to paddle.
