National Public Lands Day

Greenbelt Park, NCP East is hosting Public Lands Day on Saturday September 24, 2011. We are partnering with the REI College Park store in trail maintenance projects, watershed cleanup, and invasive plant removal.

We will meet at the Sweetgum Picnic Area at 8:30 and begin the trail maintenance and watershed projects at 9:00 a.m. The invasive plant removal will begin at 11:00 a.m.

Sign up for this Volunteer Day is required at  rei.com/stores/27

National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the public lands Americans enjoy.

Health, Family, Fun, Stewardship.

These are the four key values guiding the Let's Move Outside initiative, and what National Public Lands Day is all about. It is only natural that our two efforts are both working to encourage more American families to get active outside and on public lands.

Volunteerism is only one component of National Public Lands Day.
Discover Greenbelt Park through the nine miles of trails, exercise fitness trail, picnic areas with playground equipment and the 174 site campground of Greenbelt Park. (Note there is a $16 fee to use the campground)

Greenbelt Park is a unit of the National Park Service. Unlike many National parks, Greenbelt Park does not charge an entrance fee.
