In celebration of National Public Lands Day(NPLD), enjoy free entrance and join Gulf Islands National Seashore for trail and grounds maintenance cleanup! Volunteers will enjoy beautiful bayou views while they remove litter, protect native habitats, and minimize debris. We hope you'll come and participate in the volunteer service and stay for community!
Don't know what NPLD is? As a signature event of the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), NPLD is an annual event that fosters a strong connection between people and the environment, educating and cultivating environmental stewards. The theme for NPLD 2024 is "Together for Tomorrow," as volunteers of all ages and abilities roll up their sleeves and join forces for a common goal--stewarding America’s natural resources for future generations to enjoy.
