Celebrate National Public Lands Day
Get outside and help care for your public lands this Saturday, September 22nd.
While we specialize in private land conservation, our efforts are much more meaningful because they complement that vast tapestry of public lands across the Northwest that nourish us, mind, body, and soul. National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer event for public lands. Celebrate NPLD this year, on Saturday, September 22nd, 2018. NPLD is also a “fee-free day” so entrance fees are waived at national parks and other public lands. NPLD is coordinated by the National Environmental Education Foundation. In honor of NPLD, we invite you to get outside, roll up your sleeves, and enjoy some of your favorite public lands.
