National Public Lands Day

National Public Lands Day - September 29th, 2007.

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.

Contact your local state park to participate, almost every park should have something planned. In Southwest Florida there is a general theme of removing invasive species such as Brazilian pepper and Carrotwood plants from our public parks. Your local parks will address problems specific to the area. This is definitely a worthy way to spend a day!

Follow this link - National Public Lands Day - for more information. If you scroll to the bottom, on the right hand side you will find a link to locate your specific area.

Bumping this to the top, it is this upcoming Saturday.
