What's New

Defense of Place is currently working with local advocates fighting to save imperiled parklands in communities in California, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Ohio. For more information on these projects please visit our Current Projects page which provides a status report on the situation and links to the group(s) involved.

Our Action Alerts page gives you opportunities to influence policy and decision makers and help save public trust lands from sale and/or conversion. Your voice as a concerned citizen can make a big impact on the fate of these lands. Keep checking back on this page as the need for action on various projects changes frequently.

The Recent Press page will keep you up-to-date on news coverage on Defense of Place and our projects around the country. It is so important to get the word out about threats to our public trust lands. The loss of one park in a community is tragic, but the cumulative effects of many park conversions nationwide are a travesty that deserves serious attention. Please let us know if you see any park related stories that we should post on this page.
