Take action now to RECLAIM, REPAIR, and RESTORE public lands!

Yellowstone. Arches. Zion. Acadia. Shenandoah. Merely saying the names of America's iconic national parks stirs something deep inside us, reminding us how proud — and protective — we are of our nation's natural treasures.

Many Americans also think that once a national park is created, every acre of it is publicly owned and therefore permanently protected. That, however, is not the case. Countless acres of land around — and even inside — our national parks are privately owned.

While many landowners are good stewards who love our national parks, forests, and recreation areas as much as you and I do, privately owned land can divide parks and people in profound ways.

That's why, since 1972, The Trust for Public Land has worked to secure private land in and near national parks and add it to park boundaries. Together with Americans like you, we have protected and put into public ownership more than 3.7 million acres of land and completed more than 5,400 park and conservation projects.

But as the stress on our national parks has grown, especially in recent years, so has the need for support from Americans like you.

Take action today to tell President Biden that you support efforts to protect and connect our national parks, monuments, forests, recreation areas, wilderness areas, greenways, and community parks.
