Our public land is under threat. You can help save it.
With the help of our advocates and supporters, The Trust for Public Land has saved over 3.7 million acres of public land, and completed more than 5,400 park and community projects across the country. But we are facing uphill battles to preserve our iconic green spaces and to build parks where they are needed most. Here's how you can help today:
Convert concrete into vibrant schoolyards
28 million kids living in the U.S. do not have a park within walking distance of home, and many schoolyards look more like parking lots than places to play. Urge your elected officials to provide funding to transform our nation’s asphalt schoolyards into vibrant parks for kids and communities.
Make local parks more accessible
Now more than ever, nature has taken on a whole new meaning for many of us, becoming the one place we go for exercise, fresh air, and a break from anxiety. But not everyone has equal access to the outdoors. Take action now and urge your members of Congress to help make parks more accessible for everyone, regardless of zip code.
Our forests are at risk
