National Public Lands Day 2022

Saturday, September 24, 2022

Point Reyes National Seashore will be hosting at least one volunteer event in recognition of National Public Lands Day 2022 on September 24. A Sea Shanty Sing-Along will also be offered at 5 pm at the Kenneth C. Patrick Visitor Center at Drakes Beach.

National Public Lands Day (usually observed on the fourth Saturday of September) is an annual event designed to encourage people to get outside and visit places such as Point Reyes National Seashore. National Public Lands Day is also a national volunteer effort to encourage folks to give back to the very lands we use to hike, bike, swim, explore, picnic, or just relax. It is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the public lands!

National Public Lands Day began in 1994 with three federal agencies and 700 volunteers. Now, eight federal agencies and many state and local lands participate in this annual day of caring for shared lands.

Give back to your public lands! Volunteers receive a free swag bag, which includes one fee-free coupon for admission to any National Park after participating on a National Public Lands Day project and more! Below is a listing of events that will be held at Point Reyes National Seashore on the 2022 National Public Lands Day.
