It's National Public Lands Day (NPLD)! The largest 1-day volunteer event, where thousands of park enthusiasts come together to help protect and enhance our public lands. NPLD is a "Fee-Free Day" — one of just six days in 2024 when entrance fees are waived at national parks and other public lands. 🌿
