In South Gate, a Southeast LA community where nearly 100,000 residents lacked close-to-home access to green space, the opening of a park like Urban Orchard transformed the local landscape and opportunities for community members. In a densely populated urban community that’s faced elevated levels of air pollution and social vulnerability, residents now have a park intentionally designed to help curb those issues and inspire a deeper connection to the benefits and joys of the outdoors
And right now, local, public green spaces like Urban Orchard are more important than ever, especially when public lands across the country are under attack. These essential spaces are facing challenges unlike any we’ve ever seen, from irresponsible development to funding cuts to the stripping of federal protections.
We need your help now to protect and expand the natural spaces that sustain and benefit us all—natural spaces ranging from neighborhood parks to national monuments. And starting today, your $10 gift will be matched 2X for DOUBLE the impact for these lands, up to $100,000, thanks to our partners at OXO!
Can we count on you to make an early Giving Tuesday gift while it will be doubled?
