National Public Lands Day is o this Saturday, September 27.
Organized annually on the fourth Saturday of September since 1994, and led by the National Environmental Education Foundation in partnership with the National Park Service and other federal agencies, National Public Lands Day provides all lovers of the environment an opportunity to show appreciation for these unique places.
Last year, over 130 national parks hosted events with 7,600 volunteers donating an impressive 41,500 hours of service. All national parks that charge an entrance fee will offer free admission to everyone on September 27.
The theme for this year’s celebration is National Public Lands Day: Together for Tomorrow. Join forces for a common goal, stewarding America’s natural resources for future generations to enjoy.
