THE CRISIS

Rock Creek Park, a protected National Park and beloved DC sanctuary, faces an unprecedented threat. This November, developers plan to remove over 1,000 mature trees to expand a golf course – destroying irreplaceable natural heritage in our nation's capital.

WHY THESE TREES MATTER

These ancient trees are more than just part of our landscape:

• Home to endangered wildlife species

• Natural air purifiers for our neighborhoods

• DC's last remaining dark sky viewpoint

• Buffer against the urban heat island effect

• Living history that has stood watch over our community for generations

We have weeks, not months, to act. Your donation will fund our emergency response:

• Legal expertise to challenge the development

• Community awareness materials and yard signs

• Public education campaigns

• Coalition rapid-response initiatives

YOUR IMPACT

Your donation, whether $5 or $500, strengthens our collective voice and makes a difference in protecting:

✓ Critical wildlife habitat

✓ Clean air for our community

✓ Shade and cooling in a densely built-up city environment

✓ Natural heritage that belongs to all of us, and

✓ The principle that our National Parks deserve protection.
