Dear Mountain Area Preservation Supporter,

Land use and conservation are rarely black-and-white. Many variables must be weighed to move forward with development in Truckee Tahoe. When impacts or a proposed land use don’t fit, MAP and our members play a critical role. We help shape better projects, mitigate impacts, or save the land from development altogether. Our advocacy is complex and the solutions aren’t black-and-white.

As a member, your support creates better outcomes, through testimony, petitions, or by endorsing MAP to advocate for you. You’ve helped us achieve a lot over 39 years, with 14,500 acres spared from poorly-planned growth in the Martis Valley, Donner Summit, Brockway Summit, and in Eastern Truckee. None of this would have been possible without your membership support, passion, and collaboration with partners. 

What is black and white is how your commitment drives open space protection, careful land use review, and advocacy for present and future generations. Reinvest in MAP this summer. Your tax-deductible membership donation helps us track 20+ land use applications, while working to preserve the last critical piece of open space in the Martis Valley and North Lake Tahoe watershed. 

Help us raise $30,000 to protect what you love—Truckee Tahoe. 

Join us by becoming a MAP member today!

With gratitude,

Alexis Ollar, MS & GISP

MAP Executive Director

P.S. All donations will be DOUBLED up to $30K, thanks to the generosity of the Merrill Family Foundation and MAP Founders Stefanie Olivieri and Greg Hovorka.

As a grassroots advocacy group, we have worked on tough issues here in the mountains that aren't black and white, but we also know solutions can be made through passion, grit, organizing, and collaboration, which has been a rich part of MAP's history for 39 years. Don't miss out on our Summer Membership Campaign Perks with limited-edition artwork paying homage to nearly four decades of advocacy to protect open space and stand up for responsible development in Truckee Tahoe.
