Celebrate the Outdoors! National Public Lands Day 2014!
Portland, Ore. –On Saturday, September 27, the BLM is hosting numerous National Public Lands Day
events throughout the Pacific Northwest. The 21st annual National Public Lands Day is a great opportunity to
come out and experience what our nation’s public lands have to offer! All ages and abilities can get involved
helping to restore, beautify, and improve the wild lands and recreation areas that we all benefit from and
enjoy.
Volunteers range from Girl Scouts and senior citizens to corporate executives and Members of Congress
they all have one thing in common: enjoyment and appreciation for our public lands.
All tools, safety equipment, and materials needed for the projects will be furnished by the BLM. In addition,
volunteers who pitch-in at a National Public Lands Day project will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a
“Fee-Free Coupon,” good for free admission to a Federal site. The coupon can be used anytime during the
following year at sites including those managed by the BLM, the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Please note that some events may occur after September 27. In addition, volunteers are encouraged to visit
www.publiclandsday.org for complete information on local events. Photos of previous year’s events are
