The Trust for Public Land is a national conservation-focused non-profit organization with a land-for-people mission. We like to say that our work spans from neighborhood parks to national parks, and equity is at the heart of all of our work (i.e. land for all people). Our organization has been preserving Americans’ quality of life by connecting communities to the outdoors – and to each other – since our founding in 1972. The Trust for Public Land has also helped states and local communities generate over $70 billion in new public funds for parks and open space.   Creating parks and protecting our open space and iconic landscapes improves public and environmental health, delivers cleaner air and drinking water quality, and delivers multiple benefits to nearby communities. Studies have shown over and over that these spaces have significant physical, psychological, and emotional impacts on people who spend time in them. By enhancing access to parks and nature, we strengthen our relationship to the outdoors and to each other, improving well-being, creating new opportunities for inspiration, and stimulating economic prospects for the entire community.   This is what the Trust for Public Land is about. Come join our successful team and help us deliver our land for people mission. To learn more about The Trust for Public Land, and to apply:  https://www.tpl.org/.
