BLM hosted an extraordinary variety of work and educational activities at 108 NPLD sites from Alaska to Florida, enlisting the aid of 10,000+ volunteers of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. Volunteers helped to improve wildlife habitat, restore historic cabins, stabilize stream channels, build trails, paint, revegetate, weed, and otherwise pamper thousands of acres of BLM public lands and facilities.  In addition to t-shirts, certificates of appreciation, and other recognition items, volunteers were thanked with NPLD “fee-free coupons,” vouchers redeemable for one free day at any fee site managed by BLM, Forest Service, National Park Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within the next year.
