Public Lands Appreciation Day

#OTD 24 years ago, the BLM celebrated the first ever Public Lands Appreciation Day with sponsorship from the Times-Mirror Company. At three sites across the West, 700 volunteers gathered to help restore America’s public lands and celebrate the forerunner of the National Public Lands Day.

This year, #NPLD is Saturday, September 22. Find an event on BLM-managed lands near you at on.doi.gov/2y2Ja9W, and follow your local BLM office on social media at blm.gov/media/social-media.

National Public Lands Day

Established in 1994 and held annually on the fourth Saturday in September, National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest single-day volunteer effort. It celebrates the connection between people and green space in their community, inspires environmental stewardship, and encourages use of open space for education, recreation, and general health. This year’s event, on September 22, 2018, will focus on restoration and resilience of our public lands.

National Public Lands Day is also a free entrance day for National Parks, so it’s the perfect opportunity to explore a new park or revisit an old favorite.

On Sept. 30, thousands of volunteers will get their hands dirty volunteering at 275 different projects on BLM-managed public lands in celebration of National Public Lands Day. 

National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer event on public lands. Each year, about 10,000 people volunteer on BLM-managed public lands. The National Environmental Education Foundation organizes the National Public Lands Day effort.

NEEF makes it easy to get involved in NPLD, wherever you are and in whatever way you’d like to help. From trail repairs to river clean-ups, there is an event for everyone. Head over to www.publiclandsday.org, and scroll down to “find an event” in any state or territory to begin your search.

National Public Lands Day is NEEF’s signature event, with over 2,000 sites nationwide where volunteers can serve. NEEF runs many programs like National Environmental Education Week, Earth Gauge and Public Lands Every Day, in partnership with the BLM, other federal agencies and non-governmental groups. 

BLM volunteers receive NPLD t-shirts as recognition of their hard work and dedication. NPLD volunteers go above and beyond in their commitment to NPLD, and we are thrilled to work beside them and honor them on this special day.

NPLD is a fee-free day for all federally managed public lands and many state parks.

Today is also a fee free day. Leave your park pass at home, but don’t forget your helmet!
