America’s public lands belong to all of us. We’re grateful to @RepGabeVasquez, @JuanCiscomani & all the legislators who supported the Public Lands Integrity Act for helping ensure decisions about our public lands are made through a transparent public process.

Schoolyards can be so much more than asphalt and playground equipment.

In a new story from @OutsideOnline, see how TPL's community schoolyards program helps students, schools, and neighborhoods reimagine these spaces as vibrant community assets. To-date, we have helped create over 350 community schoolyards nationwide... and we're not done yet. 🌳🏀🏫 https://t.co/64aVsIRLYm

Thank you, @RepJoeNeguse and @RepHuffman, for standing up for the public servants who keep our parks and public lands safe, accessible, and welcoming for all.

The places we love depend on the people who care for them every day. We’re grateful for your leadership in protecting the public lands workforce and the future of our outdoor spaces.

A national movement, led by @tpl_org, is swapping concrete playgrounds for ecosystems to ensure every child has nature within reach.

With almost 100K public schools in the U.S. and 2M acres of potential outdoor space, TPL has big dreams of improving more.
