National Public Lands Day is the nation’s
largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the
public lands Americans enjoy. In 2006, 100,000 volunteers built
trails and bridges, planted trees and plants, and removed trash
and invasive plants.

Lands Day.

This
annual event . . .
-
Educates
Americans about critical environmental and natural resources
issues and the need for shared stewardship of these valued,
irreplaceable lands;
-
Builds
partnerships between the public sector and the local community
based upon mutual interests in the enhancement and restoration
of America's public lands;
-
Improves public
lands for outdoor recreation, with volunteers assisting land
managers in hands-on work
National
Public Lands Day began in 1994 with three federal
agencies and 700 volunteers. Last year nearly 100,000
volunteers worked in 1,100 locations and in every state. Now,
9 federal agencies and many state and local lands participate
in this annual day of caring for shared lands.
National
Public Lands Day keeps the promise of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, the "tree army" that worked from
1933-42 to preserve and protect America's natural heritage.
