COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho –Join us in celebrating your public lands during the Bureau of Land Management’s National Public Lands Day volunteer event in Coeur d’Alene on Thursday, Sept. 28. This year’s event will be held at the BLM’s Blackwell Island Recreation Area, two miles south of Coeur d’Alene beginning at 9 a.m. until noon.
Volunteer activities for the work day include helping construct a post and pole fence along the edge of the native plant garden at Blackwell Island, participating in general site maintenance and mulching of the plant garden. If you are interested in lending a hand, please dress appropriately for the weather and terrain and plan to get a little dirty for a good cause!
National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to enhance public lands for all to enjoy. Across Idaho, the BLM expects hundreds of volunteers and partners to take part in National Public Lands Day events.
