Dear Loyal Conservancy Supporter,

You're invited to take part in Spring Outside 2009 to celebrate Earth Day with The Nature Conservancy.

This year, Earth Day falls on Wednesday, April 22 but whether you choose to celebrate on Earth Day or another day this spring, there are many places you can get outside with family and friends.

Here are some free online resources to help you Spring Outside in 2009:

• View our preserve map to plan a visit

• Read tips to enjoy the outdoors shared by our online community of e-members

• See nature photos snapped by supporters who are already springing outside

• Take our Facebook™ pledge to get outside with friends

Make sure you share your outside adventures with others — you'll help to inspire more people to enjoy the great outdoors with their family and friends.

No matter what your outdoor activity, submit a photo from your outside adventure and make sure you share a tip to help others enjoy nature.

Together, we can help inspire more people to enjoy the wonders of our natural world.

We hope you'll join our staff in all 50 states and around the world to get outside more this spring and help others do the same.

Sincerely yours,

Mark R. Tercek
President and Chief Executive Officer
The Nature Conservancy
