National Public Lands Day (NPLD)

Helping Hands for America's Lands

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

In 2008, about 120,000 volunteers are expected to build trails and bridges, plant trees and native vegetation, and remove trash and invasive plants.

Join us for the 16th annual National Public Lands Day on Saturday, September 26, 2009 and help us care for our land.

Everybody is invited to participate. Some events are held on an alternate day, so be sure and check the date for the event you are interested in attending.

NPLD Volunteers Receive Free Entry to Participating Parks

In addition to National Public Lands Day being a fee free day in many federally managed lands, volunteers who participate in National Public Lands Day at federal land sites are rewarded with coupons for free entry into their favorite federal public land areas that have entrance fees.

For the fifth year in a row, all National Public Lands Day volunteers who work at a site managed by the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or USDA Forest Service will receive a coupon good for a "fee-free" day at any site managed by those agencies. The coupon is usable for one year-- from September 28, 2008 to September 26, 2009.
