National Public Lands Day (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. National Public Lands Day is celebrated annually at various sites in the United States on a Saturday in late September. An initiative of the National Environmental Education Foundation, it promotes both popular enjoyment and volunteer conservation of public lands. Three federal agencies and 700 volunteers launched the first National Public Lands Day in 1994. By 2007, participation grew to 110,000 volunteers at 1,300 sites across the country. In addition to the waiver of fees on National Public Lands Day in many federally managed lands, volunteers who participate at federal land sites are rewarded with coupons for free entry into their favorite federal public land areas that have entrance fees.
