On September 28, tens of thousands of volunteers across the country will join in trail maintenance, planting projects, trash pick-ups, and other activities aimed at restoring and caring for our public lands to celebrate the 30th annual National Public Lands Day (NPLD). Organized each year by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer effort for public lands.

On NPLD, from 10 am – 12 pm, we’re hosting litter pick-up events in three park locations.
