The Trust for Public Land creates parks and protects land for people, ensuring healthy livable communities for generations to come. From neighborhood parks to national parks, we partner with communities to plan their conservation priorities, fund their visions for their landscapes, protect the lands and waters they value, and create the parks, gardens, and trails they need to thrive. Our work results in cleaner air and water, healthier bodies and neighborhoods, and increased resilience and livability..
TPL has been connecting communities to the outdoors—and to each other—since 1972. Today, millions of Americans live within a 10-minute walk of a park or natural area they’ve helped create, and countless more visit every year.
