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.

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.

Alakoko Fishpond forever protected!
|
The Trust for Public Land and Mālama Hulē‘ia successfully purchased and protected the 600-year-old Alakoko (aka Menehune) Fishpond—the largest remaining fishpond on the Kauaʻi. Under Mālama Hulē‘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.

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.

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.
