Update Nov 11, 2011: The attached list of NPLD Projects by State has been replaced with an updated list.
This year, DOD’s natural and cultural resources programs are again partnering with the National Environmental Education Foundation to support National Public Lands Day (NPLD) projects on military installations across the country. DOD is supporting the 18th annual National Public Lands Day with on-the-ground projects, as it has each year since 1999. DOD’s projects will be completed between mid-September and mid-November.
The DOD Legacy Program is funding 41 NPLD projects in 23 states this year, including 29 that support natural resources, two that focus on cultural resources, and ten that have elements of both. Twenty-eight of these projects focus on pollinators and their habitats.
NPLD 2011 celebrates service and recreation on public lands while educating volunteers about all the benefits of spending time on public lands, including military installations. NPLD inspires a new generation of volunteers committed to service on these lands. The event also encourages volunteers to explore and enjoy America’s natural wonders through outdoor recreation.
Here is the 2011 NPLD Project List by State (.docx).
