John,

I know how much you care about saving open space, and I know how
busy the holidays can be.

That's why you'll be glad to know there's still
time to take advantage of our generous supporter's matching-gift
offer and make your special year-end support go twice as far to create
parks and protect public lands for people.

When you make a tax-deductible year-end gift today, it will be
matched dollar for dollar. Your gift of $25 will be matched with another $25, making a total of $50. A donation of $35 will become $70, and $50 will turn into $100.

We're grateful for all you do as a friend of The Trust for
Public Land, and I know this is an opportunity you wouldn't want
to miss. Your gift will be doubled, so it will do twice as much to:

* Create Stronger Communities: With the pandemic, wildfires, and
hurricanes uprooting lives and livelihoods nationwide, we need
our public lands - wilderness areas, neighborhood parks,
and everything in between - more than ever before. And
with reckless development, climate change, and state and local
budgets stretched to the breaking point, our public lands need
us more than ever before too.
* Preserve our National Parks: There are approximately 2.6 million
acres of privately and state-owned land or
"inholdings" in national parks across the country.
For instance, at Arizona's Saguaro National Park, 128
acres of land near the park and the newly connected Sweetwater
Preserve remain in private hands. These properties can block
access to popular trails and other sites, as well as impact
trail access, wildfire management, views, water quality, and
wildlife habitat. At any moment, irreversible development could
take place on the park doorstep. We're negotiating with
multiple landowners to sell the land to us, so that we can
transfer it to the National Park Service, but we still have a
long way to go.
* Save our Public Lands: The battle over the future of our public
lands is being waged daily across the country. Some in Congress
want to transfer public lands to the states - who could
sell them to the highest bidder. In states where voters have
approved taxpayer dollars for conservation, officials are
instead using the money for other programs.

The year is almost over - and that means our year-end
matching gift offer will end soon. Make your tax-deductible
contribution to The Trust for Public Land by December 31 so that your
special year-end gift can be doubled to keep open space ... open.
