John,

There's truly something for everyone to love about Saguaro
National Park, located just outside of Tucson, Arizona.

Named for the giant cacti that symbolize the Southwest, Saguaro is
the ancestral home of the Tohono O'odham people, who continue to
play a role in the park's culture, visiting every year in the
early summer to pick saguaro fruit.

In addition to protecting the beautiful landscape of the Sonoran
Desert, including large forests of saguaro cacti, this national park
provides visitors with over 190 miles of trails - a popular
outdoor destination for both Tucson locals and tourists from around
the world.

After years of efforts to preserve threatened open space on the
doorstep of Saguaro National Park, we've reached an inflection
point. How the story ends from here is up to you. We're so
close, John. Will
you please help us finish the job today?

The park sits next to the 880-acre Sweetwater Preserve, 880 acres
of open space that The Trust for Public Land helped our partners in
Pima County, Arizona secure in 2004. In June 2020, we were able to
permanently secure another 83 acres to connect Saguaro National Park
to Sweetwater Preserve. All of this was made possible by the generous
support of members of The Trust of Public Land.

Today, we need your help to secure the remaining 128 acres of
private land adjacent to Saguaro to extend the boundary of the
national park and connect even more open space and trails for people
to enjoy.

If we can acquire these last 128 acres, the National Park Service
can protect continuous land within Saguaro National Park. We already
have a champion in Congress, Arizona Representative Raúl Grijalva,
Chair of the House Natural Resources Committee. Congressman Grijalva
has introduced legislation that will formalize our plan to add these
128 acres to Saguaro National Park.

But the next step is yours, John.

Please make a gift to become a member of The Trust for Public
Land to help us secure 128 acres of privately-owned land on the
doorstep of Saguaro National Park - and stop reckless
development within sight of the park.

At a time when powerful political leaders are striking deals to
harm and spoil our public lands with drilling, mining, and other
reckless development, we're negotiating deals to protect our
public lands for people.

Please help us protect Saguaro National Park while working to save one
million acres of land across our nation.

Sincerely,

Kim Elliot
Director of Annual Giving

P.S. When we add 128 acres to Saguaro National Park, instead of
acres of asphalt, there will be additional miles of trails,
awe-inspiring Sonoran sunsets that stretch across the horizon, and
open space as far as the eye can see -
and the legs can hike.
Please help. Please make a gift today.
