The Trust for Public Land (TPL) conserves land for people to enjoy as parks, gardens, and other natural places, ensuring livable communities for generations to come.

TPL was founded in 1972 with goals of protecting land in and around cities and pioneering new land conservation techniques. Over the years, their work expanded to include projects from inner city to wilderness, and their broad experience has made them a national leader and innovator in city park creation, state and local conservation funding, and using GIS for conservation planning.
