Friend, 

 

It’s an exciting time at Trust for Public Land, as the fall/winter issue of Land&People magazine will soon be in mailboxes across the country. Land&People is our twice-yearly magazine for members that gives a deep dive into TPL’s work to protect public land and create parks. 

 

Here is a preview of what members will find in this upcoming issue: 

 

There’s an insightful Q&A with National Board of Directors member Anton Seals Jr., a deep dive into health and nature with TPL Health Director Dr. Pooja Tandon, a tribal and Indigenous lands spotlight on Ocmulgee Mounds in Georgia, and the first “From Our President” letter from our new CEO, Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser.

There’s a photo essay on our Community Schoolyards^® work in Dallas, Texas, featuring testimonials from residents who've directly experienced and benefited from our projects there. And the last feature shines a light on a truly groundbreaking park in San Francisco: India Basin Waterfront Park, which celebrated the opening of its first section this month. 

 

Closing out the issue is a personal essay about the unexpected role parks played in helping my family connect amid the challenge of mental illness. 

 

Feeling inspired and want to read more? We can help with that! Become a member by Sunday, November 3, and we’ll send you the newest edition of Land&People.

 

We can’t wait to share these stories with you.
