Get Involved Where You Live - Clean Ups on September 25
1) September 25 - National Public Lands Day.
Join us in celebrating and protecting our nation's public lands - wherever you live! National Public Lands Day is a great opportunity to help the environment while exploring some of our nation's amazing great outdoors with your friends and family. NPLD is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance our public lands. Last year 150,000 volunteers joined together around the country to celebrate service and recreation by planting trees, removing trash, building trails and bridges and restoring our water resources.
