Volunteers worked at 600 sites in all 50 states. It is estimated that volunteers and their community partners contributed $10 million in improvements to their federal, state, and local public lands.
In honor of National Public Lands Day, no entrance fees will be charged at Wright Brothers National Memorial on Sept. 29.
