Fee-Free Park Entrance on National Public Lands Day

Day-use fees at many federally managed lands will be waived on Saturday, September 25,
2010, to celebrate National Public Lands Day. In addition to this being a
fee-free day, volunteers who participate in NPLD at a site managed by the Bureau of Land
Management, National Park Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, or USDA Forest Service will be rewarded with a coupon good for a fee-free day at
any site managed by those agencies. The coupon is usable for one year – from September 25,
2010, to September 24, 2011. National Public Lands Day began in 1994 with three federal
agencies and 700 volunteers. It is now the nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to
improve and enhance the public lands Americans enjoy. Last year 150,000 volunteers worked
at more than 2,000 locations in every state and in many U.S. territories. Now, eight
federal agencies and many state and local lands participate in this annual day of caring
for shared lands. For information on volunteering, visit www.publiclandsday.org.
