HELENA – Montana State Parks (stateparks.mt.gov) invites the public to participate in National Public Lands Day (NPLD) events held at participating state parks on Saturday, Sept. 30.
National Public Lands Day is the largest annual volunteer event occurring in late September that provides the public with opportunities to give back to their public lands. More than 30 percent of land in the United States is public, and we take pride in that.
Locally, a Montana State Park NPLD event will be held at 10 a.m. Sept. 30 at Flathead Lake State Park – Wayfarer’s Unit, 8600 Mt. Hwy 35, Bigfork.
Projects will include litter pickup along the shores of Flathead Lake, weed pulling, and refinishing picnic tables. Tools will be provided. Please, bring work gloves and sunscreen, and dress for outdoor work. A free lunch will be provided to volunteers in celebration of National Public Lands Day.
Participants will meet at the Birch Grove Picnic Shelter in the day use area by the shore.
