John,

As a Montana native, I understand the value of preserving working
forests for the communities of northwest Montana and cherish the
ability to access these lands. The work that we are undertaking here
to protect 114,000 acres as part of the Montana Great Outdoors Project
is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that would ensure permanent public
access.

However, the longer it takes to complete this project, the more expensive it
gets. That is why time is of the essence, and your help is critical to
our success in preserving public access to these Montana wildlands.
We've been making steady progress over the past two years and
are 88% to our fundraising goal to keep this land open to the public.

Will you join Trust for Public Land and help us close the gap in this
final stretch by making a tax-deductible contribution today, to
support this and our many other critical conservation projects around
the nation?

Since the pandemic began, this land has become almost too popular for its
own good. A relatively uncrowded recreation mecca for decades,
tourists have been flocking to northwest Montana in record numbers in
recent years. The national forests are in great demand, and the state
park-which is adjacent to six miles of the land we seek to
protect-saw a 40% increase in visitation year-over-year in
2021.

The rural setting and new remote
working opportunities have also resulted in record numbers of new
residents moving to this part of Montana from urban areas across the
country, making it even more important that we protect these treasured
places for all to enjoy.

Can we count on you to help put this vital project over the finish line by
joining Trust for Public Land and
making a tax-deductible contribution right now?

If we can finish this massive project, we will have saved an area
that is half the size of Grand Teton National Park! This nearly
200-square mile landscape is filled with deep forests and crystal blue
lakes and will be available to residents and visitors to hike, bike,
fish, and even pick berries. And upon completion, we will also have
protected 207 miles of streams, 896 acres of riparian habitat, and
2,065 acres of wetlands. It will also be a huge, needed boost for the
local economy.

Completing the Montana Great Outdoors Project will also
greatly advance our aggressive five-year goal to protect one million
acres of land, 1,000 miles of rivers and streams, and connect or build
1,000 miles of trails across America by 2025.


So please help us finish this vitally
important project and our many other efforts across the nation by
making a tax-deductible membership contribution today.
