We’re counting on you today because this is an important year in the most aggressive strategic plan The Trust for Public Land has ever pursued. We’re working to conserve one million acres of land, open Community Schoolyards™ in 20 underserved school districts, preserve 1,000 miles of scenic rivers, and build or connect 1,000 miles of trails — all by the year 2025.
It’s an ambitious vision, but with your membership support, step by step, we can achieve it! That’s why we hope you’ll take this opportunity to start your annual membership with a gift today.
Your membership gift for 2022 will help us continue the amazing progress we’re making together for parks and public land — and the people who rely on them — including:
- Helping our Federal Affairs team defend public lands. From advocating for critical conservation funding, to making sure that our national monuments, parks, and green spaces are preserved for generations to come, our team in Washington, D.C. is working tirelessly to protect the future of public lands.
- Converting bare concrete schoolyards into vibrant public parks. All too often, schoolyards look more like parking lots than playgrounds. Through our Community Schoolyards projects, we’re working to transform underused schoolyards into vibrant public parks full of trees, shade, and places to play and enjoy the outdoors.
- Ensuring that every person in America has a park or open space within a 10-minute walk of home. Study after study has shown that parks are critical to the physical, social, environmental, and economic health of a community. Even so, 100 million people in America, including 28 million kids don’t have a close-to-home park. We’re going to change that! But we can’t do it alone.
In fact, in 2021, support from members helped us make progress towards these goals by expanding the Sabinoso Wilderness in New Mexico. The 9,855-acre Cañon Ciruela property is the single largest gift of land in American history for the expansion of a federal wilderness area. We also were able to conserve pristine forestland in Kingfield, Maine for people and wildlife, and build parks in neighborhoods where too few residents reap the benefits of green space — like Dominick Andujar Park in Camden, New Jersey.
But 2022 is under way, and we have a lot more work to do together.
John, that is why we are asking you to become a member and join The Trust for Public Land today.
Sincerely,
Sabra Lugthart
Associate Director Membership
P.S. Thanks to our efficient process, we’re now able to protect even more land, which means every $1 of your membership gift will save $11 of land. Please multiply your impact for public lands by joining today!
