At TPL were a team of outdoor advocates who believe in connecting everyone to the outdoors. As an ethos we believe access to the outdoors is a fundamental human need and essential to our health and well-being. Were committed to creating more places that bring us outsideparks trails playgrounds and public landsand making them available and welcoming to everyone everywhere regardless of ZIP code. We also understand that land has meaning; it tells the story of our history. Thats why through our Black History and Culture initiativewere working to preserve sites that more fully represent the Black American experience; and were an ally and partner to Tribal and Indigenous communities working in partnership to reconnect them with their ancestral lands.
One hundred million people including 28 million children dont have nearby access to a park within ten minutes of their home. Were determined to change this outdoor equity gapand as a result nine million people and counting now have access because of our work. We have miles to go and a plan to get there. Were inclusive change-makers who believe in connecting everyone to the outdoors. We inspire by paving the way forward and strengthening our connection to nature. Join us!
