Worth Fighting For

Some places are worth fighting for twice as hard. This October, Tänd Studio doubles every gift you give to protect the public lands you love.

People need nature. And, right now, nature needs you to protect what matters.

This October, Tänd Studio is matching every gift to the Conservation Lands Foundation, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000.

Your gift will fuel the Conservation Lands Foundation’s mission to defend and protect public lands now and for future generations.

At the Conservation Lands Foundation everything we do is based on the understanding that we live in an interrelationship with nature, and that connection to the land is the source of life, not a resource to extract.

Ben Eder, founder of Tänd Studio, a Utah-based woodshop, shares our belief that we need to take from nature sustainably to ensure it’s passed onto future generations.

That’s why Ben is putting his own resources behind our fight to defend nature.

Public lands are under mounting pressure: from rollbacks of national monuments to attacks on the bedrock laws that protect them.

Your gift, doubled, powers our work to:

• Pursue legal action to the full extent of the law.
• Flood members of Congress with messages of opposition.
• Mobilize hundreds of thousands of people within the 92 organizations of our Friends Grassroots Network to fight back.
• Defend the Antiquities Act and other bedrock laws that protect essential landscapes.
• Expose the irreversible consequences of removing the protections that are breaking the conservation system. 
  

Please consider joining me to protect the places worth fighting for by donating to the Conservation Lands Foundation. I’ll be matching your donation dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000 through the end of October – making your donation go TWICE as far to protect and defend public lands.

Every gift brings us closer to unlocking the full $25,000 from Tänd Studio. Here is where the match stands right now.

“I think there’s a real difference between taking something from the land responsibly and honoring nature as a source of life, rather than taking from it in a way that's purely extractive. As a woodworker, I believe we need to take from nature sustainably to ensure it’s passed onto future generations.”

The National Conservation Lands protect rivers, wildlife habitat, and cultural sites that exist nowhere else.

The Conservation Lands Foundation powers over 90 local organizations within the Friends Grassroots Network, harnessing their collective power to protect and defend nature.

The Friends Grassroots Network represents people who are connected to the land locally and, historically, and fight for its value day in and day out.

Room to explore, to belong, and to find wonder. When you protect public lands, you join a movement rooted in community, the kind that grows stronger when it is shared with others.
