ABOUT THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND
The Trust for Public Land (TPL) conserves land for people to enjoy as
parks, gardens, and other natural places, ensuring livable communities
for generations to come.
Working from more than 50 offices nationwide, TPL helps agencies
and communities:
create a vision for conservation
raise funds for conservation
complete conservation real estate transactions
TPL works to protect parks in America’s cities; working farms,
ranches, and forests; lands of historical and cultural importance; rivers,
streams, coasts, and watersheds; and lands where all Americans can
experience nature close at hand.
Since 1972, TPL has completed more than 3,900 projects, conserved more than 2. 8 million acres, and helped generate more than
$32 billion in state and local conservation funding—all made possible
by the generosity of supporters nationwide.
