National Public Lands Day
National Public Lands Day is 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.
The COVID-19 pandemic has upended many aspects of daily life in this country, and our public lands are no exception. In 2020, we were thrilled to introduce virtual events celebrating our public lands and complementing many socially distanced in-person events. We are currently working with our federal, state, and local partners to monitor the situation to ensure a safe and enjoyable NPLD for everyone - whether virtually or in-person. Stay tuned!
