National Public Lands Day

by on September 26, 2026 with No Comments

On this National Public Lands Day, we celebrate all the public lands from local, regional, and state parks all the way to national parks and forests–and beyond.

Your voice is needed to keep public lands in public hands.

From the Roadless Rule rescission which would open up 55 million wilderness acres to logging, mining, and commercial activity to the Yosemite National Park “land swap” for the benefit of a private developer. Stand up and have your voice heard.
