John,
Are you up for a challenge?
You’ve already done so much to help build parks and protect public land — you’ve been a supporter since 2019, and you’ve responded whenever we’ve asked you to take a stand.
But you can do even more.
If you believe that public lands should be preserved for future generations … if you believe that national monuments should not be sold off for exploitation and reckless development … if you believe that all Americans deserve the health benefits a close-to-home park or other green space provides … if you understand that climate change is real and happening now, and you believe we need to deal with its devastating effects …
… then you should join the fight and become a member of The Trust for Public Land.
We are the leaders in preserving places that tell the American story. For more than 45 years, we’ve been on the front lines of land conservation. We’ve forged powerful partnerships to protect treasures both national and local.
And everything we’ve done has been thanks to our members. Simply put, they make our work possible.
Our membership is a diverse coalition of nature lovers, outdoors enthusiasts, environmentalists, activists, and problem solvers. Frankly, I think you’d fit right in.
What’s more, we need your help, and we need it now. We have a lot of vital projects in progress — here’s just one example:
We recently worked out a deal with the old mining town of Trinidad, Colorado: The Trust for Public Land, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, would raise the money to buy 19,000 acres just south of town to protect important wildlife habitat and make the property publicly accessible for outdoor recreation.
However, we took out $20 million in bridge loans to buy the property. Now we have to raise the money to pay off those loans. If we don’t, we’ll be forced to sell the property to a private buyer. The land will remain closed to the public and it would be vulnerable to reckless development. The fate of this project is hanging in the balance right now. If we can’t raise the funds we need to seal the deal soon, the whole thing will collapse.
Please don’t let this happen. Show your support to help save Fisher’s Peak and for all the parks and other public lands across the country. Become a member of The Trust for Public Land, and show that you care about protecting our nation’s open spaces.
Sincerely,
Kim Elliot
Director of Membership
