John,
You understand how great the need is.
Some legislators in Congress want to turn federal lands over to the states so they can be opened to reckless development. The Land and Water Conservation Fund, the lifeblood of preservation and conservation in America, is chronically underfunded. One hundred million Americans don’t have a close-to-home park or other green space. Our cities are being lashed by superstorms, catastrophic floods, rampant wildfires, and tornadoes. And every day we don’t act, 6,000 acres are lost to development never to be available to you, me, or the rest of the public ever again.
You also know that The Trust for Public Land is fighting back — and making a difference — in every one of these areas.
And you know that our work is dependent on the support of people like you.
Giving Day is almost over; please don’t let it slip away. Take a moment right now and become a member of The Trust for Public Land. We need you standing by our side, now more than ever.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Director of Membership
