More information
The Trust for Public Land is a national nonprofit organization working to protect land as parks and open space. TPL is not a government agency, although we sometimes work with agencies to protect land. TPL helps communities and government agencies identify land for protection. We help identify funds that might be used to protect that land, and we sometimes help raise those funds through charitable campaigns and legislative or voter initiatives. Finally, TPL's real estate and legal staff help complete the transaction itself-often optioning or purchasing a property temporarily until it can be permanently protected by a government or community land trust.
