Seeking Out Quiet Waters
[link removed]
Studies show that excessive noise can elevate stress hormones in both
wildlife and humans. Take comfort in the fact that Trust for Public
Land has protected lakes, rivers, and ponds across the country that
are off-limits to motorboats and Jet Skis, either by design (rules and
regulations) or default (remote locations). Cue the canoes!

The Search for Nectar Begins
[link removed]
From mountain communities in the Northeast and the Texas Hill Country
to Oregon's Willamette Valley, butterflies are emerging by the
millions, searching for plants that provide food and a place to lay
eggs. So put on your lepidopterist's cap, and take a look at five
properties with prime butterfly habitat that Trust for Public Land
helped protect.

In the Spotlight
Act Now: Expand This Scenic Landscape
[link removed]
Nothing says summer like this recreational hot spot. Expanding
Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument will preserve scenic vistas,
rare habitat for threatened and endangered species, and the health of
lush forests. We can protect this rich and diverse landscape for
generations to come, but we need your help. Send a letter to your
members of Congress today!

Updates from across the Country
A Boulder for All Ages
[link removed]
Trust for Public Land recently partnered with The North Face to
install a climbing boulder on Governors Island, a multiuse park and
cultural destination in New York Harbor. The new boulder was
designed with input from campers who used modeling clay to execute
their visions. An opening in the boulder's center offers a
spot-on view of the Statue of Liberty.

Have You Been to the Northwoods?
[link removed]
This popular adventure area is welcoming a new park! Once a fondly
remembered ski resort, Deep Lake Park will revive a favorite place to
connect with the beloved Northwoods. Once open, you'll be able to
enjoy campsites, picnic areas, mountain biking trails, and canoeing
next to scenic vistas in the warm summer months.

Upcoming Events
We're Hitting the Trails-Virtually!
[link removed]
Join us on July 28 at noon (PDT) / 3:00 p.m. (EDT) for a discussion
about the benefits of trails. From Main Streets to mountaintops,
trails are leading the way to a healthier, more resilient, and
equitable future. And, with billions of dollars earmarked for urban
transportation projects, now is the opportune time for communities to
think ambitiously about their trail systems.

Why Outside Matters
Being outside connects me and all of us to nature, an opportunity to
use all our senses to appreciate its beauty and the complexity of
life.

Ways to Give
Let's Work Together
[link removed]
Today, one in three people in America don't have a park within a
10-minute walk of home. What should be available to us all-the
great outdoors-is only available to some. We're working
hard to change that. Your support today will help us protect places
like Shur View Park in Colorado and create close-to-home parks for
over 9.6 million people. Make a gift today.

Did You Know?
[link removed]
We use a collaborative design process when we make parks, where
residents, park users, and businesses work together to create a shared
vision. This summer, we're engaging with locals to revitalize 'A'ala
Park in Honolulu, bringing various events to the park, including
skateboarding lessons, dog-training sessions, health and well-being
resource fairs, and the return of the infamous Dragon Boat Festival.
