On September 28, 2024, San Francisco Maritime NHP will host a volunteer event for National Public Lands Day and California Coastal Clean-Up Day. For two hours, volunteers will participate in picking up trash throughout Aquatic Park. After completion, on a first-come first-serve basis volunteers can receive a fee-free coupon for any park of their choosing.
NEEF's National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer event for public lands. It is held annually on the fourth Saturday in September. NPLD is also a "Fee-Free Day"--entrance fees are waived at national parks and other public lands. NEEF (the National Environmental Education Foundation) coordinates National Public Lands Day.
NPLD brings together hundreds of thousands of individual and organizational volunteers to help restore the country’s public lands. These are the places Americans use for outdoor recreation, education, and just plain enjoyment. The lands encompass national parks, monuments, wildlife refuges, forests, grasslands, marine sanctuaries, lakes, and reservoirs, as well as state, county, and city parks that are managed by public agencies but belong to and are enjoyed by all of us.
Through volunteer service on National Public Lands Day as well as grant support to local organizations, NEEF helps ensure people of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to connect with public lands for recreation, hands-on learning, and community-building--now and in the future.
