National Public Lands Day
National Public Lands Day was September 25, 2021!
NEEF's National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest single-day volunteer event for public lands. Established in 1994 and held annually on the fourth Saturday in September, this celebration brings out thousands of volunteers to help restore and improve public lands around the country. NPLD is also a “Fee-Free Day”—entrance fees are waived at national parks and other public lands.
Watch our Virtual NPLD Kickoff Video with guests from Corazón Latino, Rock Creek Conservancy, USDA Forest Service, and National Park Service!
