VOLUNTEERS HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO BEAUTIFY PARKS DURING NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS DAY

~Floridians can join nationwide effort on its 20th anniversary to appreciate and volunteer at public lands around the state Saturday.~

TALLAHASSEE –The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Florida Park Service and the Friends of Florida State Parks will celebrate the 20th anniversary of National Public Lands Day on Saturday, Sept. 28. As proclaimed by Governor Rick Scott, residents are invited to volunteer and participate in a variety of activities planned at more than 70 of Florida's award-winning state parks.

In coordination with the National Environmental Education Foundation, National Public Lands Day invites volunteers to join ranks and improve the publicly-owned lands where our state parks provide recreation, outdoor education and relaxation. For the past 20 years, this day has provided an opportunity for citizens of all ages to help preserve the lands of this nation.

“It is such a joy to take part in National Public Lands Day. It is a wonderful chance for the residents and visitors of Florida to engage in restoring and preserving our public lands,” said Donald Forgione, Director of the Florida Park Service, "It is also great to partner with the Friends of Florida State Parks and the 84 Friends groups around the state who are helping to coordinate this effort."

By contributing time in one of Florida’s many state parks, volunteers can restore Florida in many different ways. More than 70 events offered throughout the state provide the chance to remove trash and invasive plants, pick up litter surrounding the parks and plant trees and other foliage along the trails.
