As a signature event of the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), NPLD fosters a strong connection between people and the environment, educating and cultivating environmental stewards. Held on the fourth Saturday in September each year, NPLD is also a “Fee-Free Day” where entrance fees are waived at national parks and public lands. With support from federal and state agencies, corporate sponsors, and nonprofits, this event ensures resilient natural spaces for generations to come, encouraging volunteering and environmental engagement.The theme for NPLD 2024 is “Together for Tomorrow.” From trail maintenance to tree planting, beach clean-ups to forest bathing, and more, volunteers of all ages and abilities will roll up their sleeves and join forces for a common goal—stewarding America’s natural resources for future generations to enjoy.
We are excited to announce that this year's NPLD will be held at Rock Creek Trail and the surrounding streets beginning at 9 a.m. Rock Creek Trail was hit hard by the tornado and needs a lot of love.
Join us to cut back invasive species, clear out the trail and pick up litter.
Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. Please sign-up so we can have an accurate count for planning purposes.
Check in at the trailhead behind the strip mall.
