For the 6,000 acres of open space lost today

John,

Today is the 26th annual National Public Lands Day.

This is a day for celebrating the connection between people and
nature, environmental stewardship, and the conservation of public
lands.

But, in an ever-changing news cycle, the threats to public lands
and the decisions made on Capitol Hill can get lost in the noise. When
we face a new emergency every day, we can easily lose sight of these
threats. John, the reality is that our most precious public lands are in peril.

Two million acres of public land are no longer protected under
National Monument status. Now, the Administration is rushing to open
up what's left of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante
National Monuments to mining and drilling.

We still don't know what Congress will allocate to the Land
and Water Conservation Fund, our country's most successful
conservation program, in 2020. By law, $900 million of non-taxpayer
money can be allocated to the fund every year. And we need to keep
the pressure on to make our elected representatives do the right
thing.

6,000 acres of open space will be lost to development today.
This is land you, me, and future generations will not be able to
access unless we conserve every acre we can.

As a supporter of The Trust for Public Land, you've already
done so much to advocate for the protection of public land.
On National Public Lands Day, I hope you'll consider
marking the occasion by making a tax-deductible gift to help protect
our country's open spaces and all our other important work.

We both want the same thing - for lands of natural, historical,
and cultural significance to be protected and preserved for all
Americans, now and in the future. Please take that extra step to help
make it possible.

Kim Elliot
