Shur View Park
[link removed]
John,
How did this special place get
overlooked? And for so long?
Nearly 1,000 acres of stunning rocky
bluffs right across from the snow-dusted Rocky Mountains. Endless land
and opportunity for one of the most gorgeous parks in America.
It seemed like a dream. But Greeley,
Colorado, has long had its public lands underutilized. Only 5 percent
of Greeley's city lands are used for parks, leaving many
low-income and diverse neighborhoods outside of a 10-minute walk from
a park.
Thankfully, Shur View Park could
soon to be a reality for thousands in Greeley.
But with funds needed to finalize
the project, Shur View is still not a sure thing for the Greeley,
Colorado, community that needs it so urgently. Will you support Trust
for Public Land with a gift today to create Shur View and more parks
like it across America?

Shur View will be enjoyed for
generations to come by a community who needs it. But sadly, parks like
Shur View are the exception, not the rule. One hundred million
Americans-including 28 million children-don't have a
park to call their own just 10 minutes from home. That means fewer
opportunities to improve mental health and well-being through time
spent in a safe, peaceful outdoor space. And many existing parks lack
the wide, green spaces that best combat harsh climate effects.
But this doesn't have to be
the case, John. And with your support today,
we can start to close the nationwide equity gap. TPL uses your gifts
to create parks using climate-smart designs that absorb floodwater and
replace dangerous heat islands with plenty of trees and natural
elements, resulting in healthier environments for communities.

But the longer we wait to build
parks and create public lands in these underserved communities, the
less likely they are to get the access to nature they so desperately
need. And the more we will see what happens when access to the
outdoors is closed for over a third of our nation: higher rates of
anxiety, depression, obesity, and overall negative health outcomes.
That's why your support is
so important, John. Your gifts are used to buy
and transform properties like Shur View so we can heal the park equity
gap and create outdoor spaces that are well used and well loved.
Please, help us connect everyone to the outdoors with a gift today.
