National Public Lands Day

September 29, 2017

Volunteer for National Public Lands Day

The WILD Center is considered public land because Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Funds were used toward the purchase of the land. Here volunteers were working on the meditation garden during the early days of the development of the meditation garden.

National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer event for public lands. Held every year on the last Saturday of September, National Public Lands Day brings together hundreds of thousands of individual, student and organizational volunteers to help maintain and restore America’s treasured places.

Public lands are managed by public agencies but belong to and are enjoyed by everyone. These special places provide us with outdoor recreation, education and relaxation; volunteering is a way for the public to give something back. The beauty and importance of public lands inspire us all, and we hope to see you outdoors for this year’s National Public Lands Day on Saturday, September 30.

Whether it’s volunteering for National Public Lands Day or throughout the year, check out some of the many ways to help support your public lands.
