National Parks where you've made a difference:

To everyone who cares about protecting America's
national parks: please, take a second to read this...

America's national parks are home to our nation's most
treasured outdoor spaces.

But as federal priorities shift, climate change worsens,
and federal leadership signs away protections for
public lands, our national parks and monuments are depending
on us now more than ever to help ensure they remain cared
for, open, and accessible for generations to come.

As our national parks attract near-record crowds this
summer, this work has rarely been more
important.

Please make a $35 gift today and help us ensure everyone can
experience the joys of the outdoors.

America's national parks are often called one of our
nation's "best ideas"-and for good reason.

Whether you're watching the sun light up Yosemite's
granite walls, sliding down the massive slopes at Great Sand Dunes, or
cross-country skiing through Denali, it's hard not to feel
immense gratitude that the places and landscapes that make our country
special are forever protected for all of us to enjoy.

And thanks to
supporters like you, Trust for Public Land was able to expand and
protect lands in national parks just like these:

High alpine peaks, breathtaking views, and wildlife sightings make
visits to Rocky Mountain National Park an adventure. With over 350
miles of trails within the park, it offers plenty of opportunities for
hiking, camping, snowshoeing, and more.

Since the 1950s, locals and tourists from around the world have stayed
at rustic cabins at the eastern edge of the park. The Cascade Cottages
were owned and operated by a husband-and-wife team who hoped their
land would someday become part of the national park. With help from
TPL and partners, that dream was realized: adding 42 acres to the park
and protecting the land for generations to come.

As the largest wilderness area east of the Mississippi, the Everglades
is one of the world's most impressive and important outdoor
havens. Everglades National Park is home to multitudes of unique plant
and animal species, including the last remaining Florida panthers,
endangered American crocodiles, and Burmese pythons. In addition to
the benefits that the Everglades provide for plant and animal species,
it's a recreational staple for locals and visitors.

Development and draining of wetlands have reduced the
Everglades' vast ecosystem by half, from 3 million acres to 1.5
million acres. That's why we've worked hard to protect the
area by adding 48,000 acres to the national park. These expansions
help preserve essential wildlife habitats and ensure that people have
access to this treasured landscape for generations to come.

Famous for its rugged mountains and turquoise lakes, Glacier National
Park's scenery is unparalleled. Its beauty and ecology even
earned it UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1995. Boasting over 700
miles of trails, millions of visitors flock to Glacier every year for
daring hikes, scenic bike rides, and some of the most picturesque
campsites in the nation.

Within Glacier National Park near Harrison Lake sit 120 acres
previously owned by one of the park's first rangers-a
place rich in history and river access. TPL helped protect this land,
keeping it open for people to enjoy and safeguarding a critical
wildlife migration corridor.

At Trust for Public Land we believe it's our duty to keep public
lands open, accessible, and protected for everyone-now and for
future generations. This work is only possible thanks to
supporters like you. Thank you for standing with us-and for
our public lands.
