Dear John:

Community-owned forests provide unparalleled access to the outdoors.
It doesn't stop there, though. This month we walk you through all the
ways these forests benefit their communities.

P.S. We love hearing from our supporters. Share your thoughts on this
newsletter with us

Saving forestlands-one community forest at a time

[link removed]

Forests are shrinking and disappearing across the United States. Over
the past two decades, we've pioneered a movement to save our
forestlands. Here's a look at our community forest model, and why it
holds promise to protect this vital resource.

LEARN HOW COMMUNITY FORESTS WORK

Our forests are at risk. You can help.

Despite the importance and popularity of our nation's forests, they
are facing unprecedented threats: extreme drought, growing rates of
pests, and severe megafires. We cannot stand by and watch as our
forests are destroyed acre by acre. Take action now and demand
Congress protect our national forests today!

Public Land is already able to save $11 worth of land for every $1 you

A community forest grows in Vermont

Community Forests are a go-to for locals or visitors who want to play
in the snow-whether by ski, snowshoe, or just nestled in your
favorite boots. Huntington Community Forest has great trails-and
a new fire pit and kiosk-thanks to a generous grant from
L.L.Bean.

27,289 acres permanently protected in Montana

[link removed]

The public will have free permanent access to Kootenai Forestlands
near the city of Libby in northwest Montana. This landscape is a
migratory corridor for elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and moose
and will ensure protection for threatened species such as bull trout,
grizzly bear, and Canada lynx. Collectively, our conservation projects
in Montana and Idaho have protected a quarter-million acres for
present and future generations to enjoy.

Why Outside Matters

[link removed]

Being outside brings me back to WHAT IS. It's a reminder of what's
real, what matters, and what we all are a part of.

[link removed]

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.

Protecting the headwaters of the Mississippi River

[link removed]

We have long been dedicated to protecting the forested headwaters of
our nation's largest river, the Mississippi. By protecting over
13,500 acres and 64 miles of shoreline in the headwater region, we are
creating habitat-rich, publicly accessible places for the community to
get outside and have some fun.
