John,
In case you missed the message from my colleague Dick Dolan,
who is leading The Montana Great Outdoors Project for The Trust for
Public Land, I'm putting it at the top of your inbox.
I know you would be disappointed if you missed this one-time
opportunity for us to protect an area of land about half the size of
Grand Teton National Park - please make your first gift to help
conserve and protect public land today!

John,
Kim Elliot suggested I write you personally. My name is Dick Dolan
and I lead The Trust for Public Land's work on The Montana Great
Outdoors Project.
You've seen words. You've seen pictures. Today, let me
share numbers that illustrate why support from friends like you who
haven't made their first gift yet is critical to our ability to
protect this and other public land for people.

At this point in the process, we need to raise $4 million to show
that we are serious about protecting public access to these 130,000
acres. If we're successful - and with your help I know we
will be - The Trust for Public Land can help protect a
wilderness and recreation area that will:
* Protect free public access to 24,660 acres of national forest
and state land that would otherwise be landlocked and
inaccessible.
* Maintain free, year-round public access for hiking, berry
picking, mountain biking, snowmobiling, and other outdoor
activities beloved by locals and visitors alike.
* Preserve 121 days per year of public hunting and angling that
have been an annual tradition for generations of Montanans.
* Ensure a sustainable harvest of timber and the jobs - 20
full-time workers and 230 seasonal ones generating $30 million a
year in economic activity - that go with it.
But this is not a done deal, and we only have one chance to make it
happen. That's why your help today is so critically important.

I've walked this land and talked with the people who rely on
it. These 130,000 acres have been a working forest as long as anyone
can remember. The thought of the Montana land stewardship tradition
ending with these properties has emotions and anxiety running high for
residents and visitors alike.
So much is at stake. Please don't wait another moment to
make a gift to The Trust for Public Land today.

P.S. The communities of Northwestern Montana and visitors
nationwide truly cherish the ability to access these lands. This is a
once in a lifetime opportunity that would ensure permanent public
access to the 130,000 acres that define this area. Please help this
land stay in public hands. Please give today.
