The Trust for Public Land’s mission is to create parks and protect land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come. Founded in 1972 by a group of lawyers, real estate professionals and finance experts, the organization has grown to be a national leader and innovator in city park creation, state and local conservation funding and using geographic information systems for conservation planning. Since its founding, the Trust for Public Land has protected more than 3 million acres and completed more than 5,200 park and conservation projects.
Working from more than 30 offices nationwide, the trust conserves working farms, ranches and forests; lands of historical and cultural importance; rivers, streams, coasts and watersheds; and other special places where people can experience nature close at hand. Its ultimate goal is to ensure that every child has easy access to a safe place to play in nature. Conservation services include land protection, conservation finance, conservation vision and GIS, park design and development, conservation tools and research.
