Why I believe in protecting land and creating parks: The U.S. is a beautiful country with a steadily growing population that is expected to reach 400 million by mid-century. Protecting land and creating access to parks, trails and open space is vitally important work, both to preserve precious natural areas and to improve public health and quality of life for Americans. If we don't do this now, we won't be able to do it tomorrow.
