Everyone needs a great place to #OptOutside
This year, we’re partnering with REI to evaluate access to parks and nature across the country.
When it comes to the outdoors, not all places are created equal: In the largest U.S. cities, two-thirds of people have below-average access to public land, and 100 million Americans don’t have a park within a 10-minute walk of home.
The Trust for Public Land is working to change that. Across the country, we’re creating parks and protecting land for people, driven by the belief that everyone needs a great place to #OptOutside.
We’re proud to say that we’ve been connecting communities to the outdoors—and to each other—since 1972. We’ve created more than 5,000 places and protected more than 3 million acres nationwide, from neighborhood parks to national parks.
