Trust for Public Land

Hello Friend,

With the uncertainties we’re facing in the world today, it’s easy to feel down and a bit cynical, maybe even fearful. But here's the thing: right now, I'm inviting you to grab onto hope and join us in the work to make a difference in communities all across the country.

Hope makes us powerful. And if there’s anything we learned in 2024, it's that we can achieve a great deal when we work together. We racked up some impressive stats over the past 12 months, averaging one land protection closing a week, conserving nearly 80,000 acres, and opening 19 community schoolyards across the country.

You can help accomplish so much more this year when you start your annual membership with Trust for Public Land. As a token of our gratitude, we’ll send you an exclusive TPL “Protect Public Land” magnet, while supplies last.

If you need an example of what happens when we rally around hope, look no further than Tiburon Ridge in California. Over 30 years in the making and representing a momentous conservation and community milestone, this pristine 110-acre ridgetop property is now protected. With breathtaking views of the Bay Area, Tiburon Ridge enhances recreational access, climate resilience, wildlife corridors, and scenic beauty in the region.

The protection of this property represented the literal last chance to save this land from the construction of 43 large homes, which would have forever altered the character and natural beauty of the Tiburon Peninsula. Thanks to a great collaboration with our partners, this iconic landscape will be safeguarded from development forever.

But wait, there's more! Thanks, in part, to the unwavering support of our sustaining members, we're on track to make history with a HUGE project to return land to Indigenous stewardship while safeguarding public access.

Trust for Public Land has acquired a massive tract of land in the Katahdin region of Maine, aiming to give back nearly 30,000 acres to the Penobscot Nation. We're talking about a historic handover, the largest land return between a U.S.-based nonprofit and a tribal nation ever.

This isn't just a land deal; it's a love letter to the land and its people 💌. This transformative endeavor not only signifies a significant step towards righting historical wrongs but also stands as a beacon of hope, demonstrating the power of collaboration and collective action.

When you start your annual membership gift to Trust for Public Land, it's not just a recurring gift; it's a commitment to hope for a better future full of vibrant green spaces to experience the wonders of nature.

Hope isn't just a feeling; it's a force that pushes us to action. It's the heart of the work we're doing now and the excitement of what's ahead. Thanks for being a part of it.

Sincerely,

Joshua VanDavier
