We couldn't have done it without you
From the California coast to the mesas of New Mexico to downtown
Atlanta, we spent 2021 building parks where people most need them,
transforming asphalt schoolyards into neighborhood parks, protecting
important cultural sites, and ensuring public access to our
nation's forests. All of these achievements are thanks to your
generosity. Take a look at what you've helped us accomplish.

Updates from across the country
Maine proves: Sometimes bigger is better
Downeast Lakes Community Forest was a model for the conservation
movement since its founding two decades ago. Now it's grown by
2,015 acres thanks to The Trust for Public Land and the Downeast Lakes
Land Trust. That means even more treasured places for residents and
visitors to fish, paddle, swim, and hike.

The Trust for Public Land and M?lama Hul?'ia

Alakoko (aka Menehune) Fishpond-the largest remaining fishpond
on the Kaua?i. Under M?lama Hul?'ia's new
ownership and continued stewardship, Alakoko will serve as an outdoor
classroom where students can learn the science, history, and culture
of traditional Hawaiian aquaculture.

Why Outside Matters
QUOTE: During the pandemic, retirement communities have locked
down-and the isolation is taking a terrible toll. But, we have
been able to see my 94 year old mother in law outside, safely. Those
regular walks with her kids and grandkids have meant the world to her,
and helped keep her physically and mentally healthy.

Each month, we feature a quote from one of The Trust for Public Land's
staff members, volunteers, or supporters about the power of the
outdoors. Share why you're thankful for the outdoors for a chance to
be featured in a future newsletter.

More stories for you
Colorado voters chose conservation
Voters in Colorado declared their support for parks and conservation
by passing ballot measures supported by The Trust for Public Land. In
Colorado Springs, voters allowed the city to keep $20 million in
revenue to create a wildfire mitigation and prevention program,
reducing the risk exacerbated by climate change. In Arapahoe County, a
sales tax measure became permanent, generating $28 million a year for
conservation projects.
