John,
Rampant development and climate change are degrading and destroying open spaces at an alarming rate. Every day, we lose 6,000 acres of land to real estate development. By 2050 our country could lose 23 million acres of forest—enough trees to cover the entire state of Indiana. Sites of profound meaning to America are disappearing.
This is why it’s so important that you help us take full advantage of a limited-time matching gift offer to help advance our work to create parks and protect public land!
Our members are making a real difference in communities across America. Last year in Hawaii on the island of Kaua’i, we protected the Alakoko Fishpond, a 600-year-old site of cultural and historic importance that was vulnerable to environmental degradation and development.
Our members have also allowed us to expand the Sabinoso Wilderness in New Mexico with a donation of 9,855 acres—the largest land donation to a federal wilderness area in U.S. history. And with your help, we can continue to create vibrant parks in communities that need them the most—like in Cook Park in Atlanta, Georgia.
This matching gift opportunity is only available for a short time, so please double your impact to help connect everyone to the benefits and joys of the outdoors and make a membership gift to TPL today.
Sincerely,
Sabra Lugthart
Associate Director Membership
