TAKE ACTION: Today, protections for large parts of Bears Ears & Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments were rolled back.

These sacred landscapes protect Tribal heritage, wildlife, and America's shared story. National monument status is a promise of permanent protection—not short-term exploitation.

Tell Congress to defend our national monuments.

Where does your city rank? Check out the 2026 ParkScore results … brought to you by @tpl_org.

[Trust for Public Land @tpl_org]

Parks are essential for all! Tools like ParkScore help to measure them so we can continue to work together in connecting everyone to the joys and benefits of the outdoors.

[Andy Orellana @asorellana]

The bottom line:

Parks are "places of real joy," @CarrieBHauser says, adding that their green spaces, trails and benches give us all a chance to meet and connect with different kinds of people.

“Everyday should be an outdoor day” — Carrie Besnette Hauser @tpl_org

Panelists shared how cities + health systems are investing in #GreenSpaces to expand access. Because your zip code shouldn’t limit your access to nature.

[Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser @CarrieBHauser]

Thanks @SenatorHeinrich for your leadership and partnership with @tpl_org on Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards. Nearly 100K public school yards equivalent to 2M acres are ready made for transformation into vibrant neighborhood green spaces. Let’s go!

[Martin Heinrich @SenatorHeinrich]

Schoolyards should be so much more than concrete or blacktop.

That’s why I’m reintroducing my Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act. I want to help schools in New Mexico and across the country turn their schoolyards into greener, more enriching outdoor spaces like this one.

[Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser @CarrieBHauser]

Wonderful to celebrate @BettyMcCollum04 as a 2026 Trailblazer Honoree along with @MikeSimpson4ID. Congratulations to both of these dedicated public servants from all of us at @tpl_org.

[Rep. Betty McCollum @BettyMcCollum04]

Parks and public lands aren't luxuries. They're essential for our health, our communities, and our children. It was an honor to receive the Trailblazer Award from Trust for Public Land for my work in Congress to protect our parks and public lands.

[Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser @CarrieBHauser]

Wonderful to recognize @CongMikeSimpson for his steadfast support of Public Lands and #LWCF. Congrats from all of us @tpl_org.

[Trust for Public Land @tpl_org]

We are presenting @CongMikeSimpson with our 2026 Trailblazer Award for his leadership in conservation & public access to land nationwide. As a key architect of the Great American Outdoor Act, he helped secure permanent funding for LWCF—ensuring sustained investment in parks, trails, & outdoor access. 🏆

[Trust for Public Land @tpl_org]

Big news: The Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act is here 🌳

Thank you @SenatorHeinrich and @RepSummerLee for your leadership to transform schoolyards in NM, PA, and across the country into nature-filled, healthy spaces where kids and their communities can learn, play, and thrive.

[Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser @CarrieBHauser]

Timely conversation at the 2026 Maine Outdoor Economy Summit with @SenAngusKing – a great champion for public lands, including his work w/ @SteveDaines to reauthorize the Legacy Restoration Fund. With gratitude from ⁦@tpl_org⁩.

[Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser @CarrieBHauser]

Proud of @tpl_org for protecting land, creating parks, building trails, and transforming schoolyards.

In honor of Giving Tuesday, @LGUS put a spotlight on the many ways Trust for Public Land connects people to the outdoors — parks, trails, public lands, schoolyards, and more. 🌳💚

Across the country, we’re working community-by-community to bring nature within reach—one park, one trail, one schoolyard at a time.

A dangerous plan to sell off millions of acres of public land is back—just days after a similar proposal was removed from the Senate’s budget bill.
It was bad then, and it’s bad now.
Public lands belong to all of us—not the highest bidder. Read more via TPL's @CarrieBHauser: https://t.co/14XQvo8bX3

Sincere thanks to the US Senate Parlimentaian for flagging in law what is also wide reaching American sentiment — our Public Lands are not for sale.

[Trust for Public Land @tpl_org]

The sell-off plan is out—for now. Last night’s win is a big step forward, but public lands are still under threat. Americans have spoken: These places belong to all of us. Let’s keep it that way. Read more from @CarriebHauser: https://t.co/o66HWrSzDp

Thanks @chicagotribune and @adrianamperezr for highlighting how important the outdoors and public lands are to Americans from all walks of life regardless of background, politics or geography and how parks bring us together. Check out our polling at @tpl_org.

[Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune]

President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill would sell off over 2 million acres of federal land in 11 states. But almost 75% of Americans oppose the sale or closure of any kind of public land.

[Trust for Public Land @tpl_org]

Last night, a plan to sell off millions of acres of federal land was introduced in the Senate. Americans love their public lands and want to see them protected—not sold off to the highest bidder: https://t.co/OdtlXKpY3K
