Celebrate National Public Lands Day with BLM Arizona
Looking to volunteer and give back to public lands? Join the Bureau of Land Management in Arizona for National Public Lands Day! Held the last Saturday in September, National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer event for public lands. This year, BLM Arizona will host National Public Lands Day events beginning Sept. 26 and continuing into December.
Our public lands belong to all of us, and every minute you spend volunteering counts toward preserving these beautiful spaces for generations to come. BLM Arizona has eight exciting events coming up across the state. Find an event near you and make a difference.
