National Public Lands Day

National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer event for public lands, held annually on the fourth Saturday in September. Since 1994, this event has brought together hundreds of thousands of volunteers to help restore America’s public lands.

As the nation’s largest land manager, the Bureau of Land Management plays a vital role in this annual celebration. In 2025, BLM proudly hosted approximately 30% of all National Public Lands Day events that took place on federally managed lands. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the 8,000+ volunteers, staff, and partners who contributed their time and energy to these efforts.

NPLD events are coordinated by the National Environmental Education Foundation. To find out more visit neef.org/npld, or contact a BLM State Office.
