Support National Public Lands Day on September 29

On Saturday, September 29, 2007, America celebrates the 14th annual National Public Lands Day. Each fall, volunteers across the country join together in the nation's largest grass roots effort to improve and enhance the public lands we all enjoy. What began as an event involving 10,000 volunteers and three federal agencies has grown into a truly national undertaking involving nine federal agencies and more than 100,000 volunteers annually.

Cleanups will take place in parks, forests, rivers, lakes, wetlands, cultural and historic sites, and neighborhood areas. Projects range from building bridges and trails, to improving wildlife habitat by removing invasive plants that threaten native historic and cultural resources.

The goal of this national day is to improve our public lands for outdoor recreation and to educate Americans about the importance of accepting responsible stewardship of our public lands. ARRA would like to encourage all recreation enthusiasts to join the thousands of other volunteers on September 29th in enhancing America's natural beauty.
