John,
Just a quick reminder that our matching gift challenge is still underway and you can still make a special, one-time contribution to The Trust for Public Land and have it doubled. A generous patron will match your gift dollar for dollar. The offer is good up to a total of $250,000, and it ends on Friday.
As an activist working for a better future and a supporter of The Trust for Public Land, you have a good idea of what our work entails. After all, you make it possible. I’d like to take a minute to talk about a specific area you’ve helped change.
The White Mountains of New Hampshire are among the best loved natural treasures in the Northeast. Less than a day's drive from Boston, New York City, and other Northeastern cities, they draw more than 6 million visitors each year.
The region's signature attraction is the White Mountain National Forest. Over the years, The Trust for Public Land and our partners have conserved more 15,000 acres of land in the White Mountain National Forest.
That’s an impressive figure, and one I hope you’re proud to see. But we’re not stopping there. Our goal for the next five years is to protect 1 million acres, from New Hampshire to Hawaii and back again. It won’t be easy. But with the help of our dedicated members and supporters, we can make it happen.
The land we’ve preserved in the White Mountain National Forest contains 24 miles of trails. Our five-year goal is to build 1,000 miles of trails in parks, forests, and wilderness areas across the country.
This is one of the main reasons we exist: to preserve land for people to use and enjoy. It is surely also one of the main reasons you joined our community of public land advocates. To reach these goals, we need your help. I’m asking you to make a special gift of $35 or whatever you can afford to The Trust for Public Land’s work. It’s tax-deductible, and it will be doubled as soon as it’s received.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Director of Membership
P.S. We are already able to save $5 worth of land for every $1 you donate. And thanks to this matching gift offer, we can now save twice as much land — that’s $10 worth of land for every dollar donated! Donate now to double your impact and protect the future of public lands.
