 Lady Bird Johnson was an inspired advocate for beautifying our green areas, making sure that our parks and public spaces were protected and that funding was appropriated and spent to that end. She spent numerous hours planting on The National Mall. ( Photo by Abbie Rowe, courtesy of the National Park Service)

today, this national treasure must be fi xed. And
it needs our help now.
The Trust for the National Mall is working
aggressively to build awareness of the need to
repair the park and raise funds to support the
National Mall Plan and the National Park
Service’s work. We have an ambitious goal but
are confi dent that with the continued support
of Washingtonians and Americans across the
country, we will get the job done. For more
information about how you can get involved,
