PUBLIC LANDS DAY
WON PERSPECTIVE
LET'S MAKE EVERY DAY A 'PUBLIC LANDS DAY'
Western Outdoor News
TThe nation’s largest one-day volunteer event for public lands is coming up on September 25, and while sportsmen and all outdoor users are urged to participate in the clean-up, we would like to remind everyone that every day should be an outdoor clean-up day.
National Public Lands Day, sponsored by Toyota, recruits volunteers for clean-up and wildlife habitat improvement projects to increase usage of public lands. Fee-free admissions are offered at many sites to help recruit over 170,000 volunteers with “helping hands for America’s lands”
On September 25, 2010 more than 170,000 Americans will grab shovels, pruning sheers and gloves to help improve the nation’s public lands as part of National Public Lands Day, an annual event held at local, state and federal sites throughout the country.
In line with the special focus on recreation, National Public Lands Day is reaching out to the sportsmen community as an important source of volunteers for this year’s event. Hunters and anglers spend much of their time outdoors, particularly on public lands. They are often the first to notice the effects of trash, invasive species, habitat loss and misuse of land on the local wildlife.
This year, National Public Lands Day is anticipating volunteer projects on over 2,300 sites. Many of the projects are directed towards sportsmen and improving access to public lands; for example:
Outdoor visitors are urged to help clean up and remove trash from popular public shooting areas on public lands, much as Eldorado Counties PLINK (Please Leave It NRA Klean) group does in the national forest. Or, volunteer to help build goose nest structures or wood duck boxes, and help place them in strategic areas.
Bud everyone is urged to do what most caring sportsmen and women do: Every time you are outdoors, bring along a plastic bag in your pocket or backpack, and when you see litter or trash, simply pick it up and carry it out. With millions of outdoor folk making every day a clean up day, the results will be outstanding.
