Saturday,
28 September, is being observed as National Public Lands Day, considered to be
the nation's largest, single-day volunteer effort for public lands (federal,
state, regional, and municipal). This year’s observance is the 20th Anniversary
of National Public Lands Day.
During
this annual day of caring for public lands, volunteers assist at parks and
other public lands by collecting invasive plants; building and maintaining
trails; planting trees, shrubs and other native plants; removing trash from
trails and other places; and offering a number of other services.
Among
NPLD efforts currently listed in New England, volunteers plan to be working at
two sites in Connecticut, five sites in Maine, eleven sites in Massachusetts, five sites in New Hampshire, and one site in Vermont.
