We’re collaborating with River Bend Nature Center and the Faribault Youth Empowerment Center to celebrate National Public Lands Day!
Join us for a morning of working together to remove invasive buckthorn and learn about new management techniques for handling this plant. This is a great chance to support our local public lands and gain some new knowledge!

About National Public Lands Day
National 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.
Coordinated 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.
Public 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.
Sign Up for our Volunteer Corps program!
Volunteer Corps connects people and organizations with hands-on opportunities to protect and improve our water and natural environment in southeast Minnesota. We do this work by partnering with local organizations and recruiting volunteers for restoration and conservation activities, such as invasive species removal, native seed collection, tree and native species plantings, and our signature Watershed-Wide Cleanup.
