National Public Lands Day

National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer event for public lands. Held every year on the fourth Saturday of September, National Public Lands Day bring people together to care for, maintain, and restore public lands while connecting communities to these treasured spaces.

Join us as we partner with the National Park Service to care for the historic grounds of General Grant National Memorial ! We’ll work together to give back to this special public space through landscape maintenance and litter clean-up. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to participate in an educational tour of the memorial led by the National Park Service, learning more about the site’s history and significance while helping care for its grounds.

Note: This event is open to volunteers of all ages. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
