On September 28th, over 100,000 volunteers will gather across the country to participate in service projects on public lands. From trail maintenance at National Parks to local greenway clean-ups (more on that below), the projects are all aimed at providing people with the “opportunity to care for our public lands while spending time with family and friends and taking advantage of all the benefits that come from spending time outdoors.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Luckily for New Yorkers, there are a few different projects both within the five boroughs and nearby. So grab a friend and sign-up to volunteer<\/a> for National Public Lands Day this weekend.<\/p>\r\n
