Clear Creek Greenway volunteer during National Public Lands Day 2008
National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is the largest volunteer event that benefits America's public lands. NPLD is held on a Saturday in late September when thousands of Americans volunteer to improve and enhance our nation's public lands.
The first NPLD took place in 1994 with three work sites and 400 volunteers. The event has grown every year so that in 2009, 150,000 volunteers worked to improve over 2,000 sites in every state of the nation.
National Public Lands Day 2010 will officially take place on September 25, 2010, however, numerous BLM California NPLD events are planned during the months of September and October.
Public lands make the best playgrounds!
With the growing concern about childhood obesity, NPLD is a perfect opportunity for children and families to get outdoors, get moving, and enjoy America’s natural wonders.
