John,

Imagine "growing" one of our beloved National Parks at
a time when some politicians are trying to harm them!

That's the opportunity you and I have right now with the
open space surrounding Arizona's Saguaro National Park. The
ancestral home of the Tohono O'odham people, Saguaro receives
over a million visitors a year. The land in the Park is secure, of
course. But the remaining 128 acres of open space around this pristine
Sonoran Desert land, just a few miles' drive from Tucson, is
threatened by reckless development.

When you make a gift to become a member of The Trust for Public
Land today, you'll help us permanently protect 128 acres of
privately-owned land on the doorstep of Saguaro National Park -
and stop reckless development within sight of the Park.

The Park's large forests of saguaro cacti are home to
javelina, coyote, quail, and desert tortoise in the lower elevations,
and the Park includes 190 miles of trails beloved by locals and
visitors from around the world. Saguaro's treasures extend to
pine and coniferous forests in the upper elevations - some
reaching more than 8,000 feet above sea level.

But as long as 128 acres of privately-owned land is a
stone's throw from the edge of this national treasure, Saguaro
will be at risk of reckless development. The Trust for Public Land is
working hard to convince landowners adjoining the Park to sell to us
rather than list their land on the real estate market. Our
market-based approach gives the landowners the opportunity to ensure
their land is permanently protected as part of one of our most beloved
National Parks while making a transformational impact on their city
and their county.

Please be part of this vision by making a gift to help us protect
Saguaro today. If we can count on your support today, together,
we'll help Saguaro National Park grow by 128 acres ...

... we'll bring the Southwest region 128 acres closer to
the vision of permanently protected open space from the Tucson
Mountains to the Santa Cruz River ...

... and we'll help advance another 128 acres toward The
Trust for Public Land's goal to permanently protect 1,000,000
acres of land and 1,000 miles of rivers and streams across our
nation.

Sincerely,

Kim Elliot
Director of Annual Giving

P.S. While local and national nonprofit organizations and public
agencies are making the work to extend the boundary of Saguaro a
priority, it will take private funding powered by members and
supporters of The Trust for Public Land to permanently protect these
128 acres. Please help today.
