THE ALLIANCE HAS STRENGTHENED THE PUBLIC LANDS COMMUNITY FOR MORE THAN FORTY-FIVE YEARS THROUGH ITS NATIONAL PROGRAMS AND ADVOCACY. PLA WORKS FOR THE DAY WHEN AMERICA'S PUBLIC LANDS ARE UNDERSTOOD AND APPRECIATED, PRESERVED AND CONSERVED AND ENJOYED BY ALL. THE MOST DIRECT WAY TO REALIZE THIS VISION IS TO ENSURE THAT PUBLIC LANDS HAVE STRONG NONPROFIT PARTNERS WITH THE CAPACITY TO GALVANIZE PRIVATE SUPPORT,CATALYZE CHANGE AND TAKE STRATEGIC RISKS.
