SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day
DESCRIPTION:On the Eastern Shore today is a no-admission fee day for many public lands including the Eastern Shore and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuges\, Assateague National Seashore\, and Kiptopeke State Park. \n\n\n\nWhat is National Public Lands Day?  \n\n\n\nNational Public Lands Day (NPLD) is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer event for public lands\, held each year on the fourth Saturday in September. It’s also a  “Fee-Free Day”\, when entrance fees are waived at national parks and many other public lands across the country.  \n\n\n\nCoordinated by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)\, NPLD brings together thousands of volunteers—individuals\, families\, organizations\, and agencies—to care for and celebrate America’s public lands through service and community events.  \n\n\n\nPublic lands include national parks\, forests\, monuments\, wildlife refuges\, grasslands\, marine sanctuaries\, lakes\, and state\, county\, and city parks—spaces managed by public agencies or nonprofits and open to all.
