Friend, in September, millions of Americans will celebrate National Public Lands Day by enjoying the parks, trails, forests, and monuments that belong to all of us.



This year, it's also a reminder that public lands don't protect themselves. Recent efforts to weaken protections have put some of America’s most treasured landscapes at risk.



Tell Congress: Public lands belong to all of us. Keep public lands in public hands. ([link removed])



We’ve already seen what’s at stake: Protections for Bears Ears and Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monuments were rolled back, leaving nearly 3 million acres vulnerable to mining, drilling, and development.



If protections can be rolled back for places as iconic as these, no public land should be taken for granted. Speak up now to help keep public lands in public hands. ([link removed])



TAKE ACTION NOW ([link removed])



The rollback at Bears Ears and Grand Staircase–Escalante isn’t happening in isolation. Across the country, public lands are facing growing pressure from proposals to weaken protections, expand development, and even sell public lands. Congress has the power to help ensure these places remain protected for future generations.



Public lands endure because people stand up for them.



For more than 50 years, TPL has worked alongside people like you to protect the places we love. Together, we’ve protected millions of acres of land and created parks and trails that connect people to nature.



This National Public Lands Day, let’s ensure the places we celebrate remain protected for generations to come. Tell Congress to keep public lands in public hands. ([link removed])



Together, we hold the line,



Your friends at Trust for Public Land
