The Trust for Public Land Giving Day

John,

Giving Day is the day we ask a select group of nature lovers, outdoors
enthusiasts, and conservationists to
join The Trust for Public Land. This year, Giving Day is August
20 - tomorrow - and our goal is to raise $20,000 in
support of public lands.

Why did we pick that date? Well, July and August are the two peak
months for attendance at our national parks. For example, nearly 1.8
million people will visit Yellowstone National Park this July and
August - and that's just one park. Add up all the other
parks ... historical sites ... recreation areas ... hiking
trails ... boat landings ... the numbers are truly
astounding.

As we see it, the odds are high that the type of person
we're looking for has visited a park or other open space in the
past few months. And that such a visit truly brings home just how
important our public lands are.

Unfortunately, the opportunity to experience these benefits is
disappearing at an alarming rate. The U.S. Forest Service has
reported that 6,000 acres of open space are converted to other uses
every day.

As you can tell from our name, public lands are incredibly
important to us. In fact, our mission is to create parks and protect
land for people.

Our goal is to ensure that every child has easy access to a safe
place to play in nature. We also conserve working farms, ranches, and
forests; lands of historical and cultural importance; rivers, streams,
coasts, and watersheds; and other special places where people can
experience nature close at hand. And we want to stop the daily loss of
6,000 acres of open space.

If things like this are important to you, too, I hope you will
consider becoming a member of The Trust for Public Land.

With Giving Day on the horizon, I'm going to ask you to do
two things:

1) Join The Trust for Public Land today. We only need 200
public-land enthusiasts to step up with a gift of $100 each - or
400 to give $50 each - in order to reach our goal. Either one is
just a tiny fraction of the millions who will experience the majesty
of America's public lands this month alone.

2) Spread the word about The Trust for Public Land, Giving Day,
and the loss of 6,000 acres each day on Facebook, Twitter, or whatever
social media you participate in.

There is so much work to be done, and we can accomplish so much
together. It's time for us to team up - now, when the need
is so great.

Kim Elliot
