Our public lands need you, John

John,

As National Get Outdoors Day approaches on June 14, our public lands
are facing unprecedented threats. Proposed budget cuts of over $1
billion to the National Park Service, the potential removal of sites
from the National Park System, and budget proposals that include the
sale of public lands, are threatening the very places we love to
explore.

We need to act now, before people head outside to enjoy National Get
Outdoors Day. Trust for Public Land has helped expand the National
Park System by over 65,000 acres, and we are steadfastly working to
preserve and protect these spaces, even when faced with unexpected
hurdles. That's why we just signed onto critical legislation, the
Protect Our Parks Act and the Save Our Forests Act, both aimed at
reinstating wrongfully terminated park and forest staff and
strengthening protections for our national treasures.

Will you make your first gift today to help us meet these
challenges and protect our public lands?

This isn't what people in America want. Our polling shows 62% oppose
funding reductions and 74% oppose closures for public land agencies.
These cuts jeopardize the places where people connect with nature and
undermine the very fabric of our shared outdoor spaces.

We are finding opportunities to keep projects moving even when federal
leaders are unfortunately pulling back their support. In Chattanooga,
Tennessee, despite the EPA's recent withdrawal of its $20 million
commitment, Trust for Public Land is stepping in to continue the vital
Alton Park and Clifton Hills Connector project. This 2.6-mile trail
system is a collaboration with the city and aims to revitalize
neighborhoods and improve connectivity for more than 3,800 residents
by creating green spaces and enhancing community well-being. But we
can only fill as many gaps being created by federal leaders as our
resources allow, John.

Your support is crucial to ensure that vital projects like the Alton
Park and Clifton Hills Connector can continue, and to strengthen our
ability to defend our public lands when federal funding is uncertain.

Join us by making your first gift today to protect the future of our
public lands.
