John,
The newly opened Empire State Trail is a continuous 750-mile route
spanning New York State from Plattsburgh and Buffalo to New York
City.
Unfortunately, there are still 7.8 million New Yorkers east of New
York City in Long Island that can't access this trail -
that's nearly 40% of the entire state's population!
Help The Trust for Public Land connect these millions of New
Yorkers with the Empire State Trail by making a tax-deductible
donation today.

To accomplish this goal, we are planning to provide 175 miles of
car-free transportation and recreation options by creating a historic
trail - the Long Island Greenway - spanning from one end
of Long Island to the other, connecting millions of residents with the
Empire State Trail in Manhattan. We will do so by making use of
utility corridors which already exist.
This project represents a significant portion of our goal to build
and connect 1,000 miles of national trails and greenways across the
nation before 2025, in addition to our efforts to permanently protect
one million acres of land and 1,000 miles of rivers and streams.
But we can't do it without you. That's why I urge you
to donate to The Trust for Public Land today, to advance this vital
work and our many other projects.

Thanks to The Trust for Public Land's cost-efficient
process, every $1 you give today saves $8 worth of land! By acting
now, we can extend the Empire State Trail across Long Island -
and transform how 7.8 million people play, commute, and live healthy
lives.
We can't do it without you, so please give today.
