Expert Bio

Scott Dissel is the philanthropy director for The Trust for Public Land in Colorado. The Trust for Public Land was founded to create parks and protect land for people to enjoy, and we’re still the only large conservation organization focused on this goal. Today, nearly ten million Americans live within a ten-minute walk of a park or natural area created with our help, and millions more visit these sites every year. We’re working toward a day when everyone has easy access to a safe, green place to play.
