National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer effort for public lands. The annual event connects people to public lands and their communities, inspires environmental stewardship, and encourages the use of public lands for education, recreation, and general health. Coordinated by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), National Public Lands Day brings together volunteers from coast to coast to improve and restore the lands and facilities that people across America use and enjoy every day. Each year, National Public Lands Day volunteers provide tens of millions of dollars’ worth of services in one day.
