The Trust for Public Land is a U.S. nonprofit organization with a mission to "create parks and protect land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come".[1] Since its founding in 1972, the Trust for Public Land has completed 5,000 park-creation and land conservation projects across the United States, protected over 3 million acres,[2] and helped pass more than 500 ballot measures—creating $70 billion in voter-approved public funding for parks and open spaces.[3] The Trust for Public Land also researches and publishes authoritative data about parks, open space, conservation finance, and urban climate change adaptation.[4][5][6] Headquartered in San Francisco, the organization is among the largest U.S. conservation nonprofits,[7] with approximately 30 field offices across the U.S., including a federal affairs function in Washington, D.C.[8][9][10]
