[Volunteers_fosm] Fwd: NEWS RELEASE Cibola National Forest & National Grasslands Waives Day-Use Fees for National Public Lands Day on September 28, 2024

[Michael Madden]

All FOSM,
There are no projects scheduled this year on the SRD for Public Lands
Day. ☹️
So get out and enjoy the color! 😄
The aspens were 'blushing yellow' this morning, while working the Thursday
crew Ellis Trail reroute.
50% colored, 50% green... so the peak is fast approaching!
Mike

*Cibola National Forest & National Grasslands Waives Day-Use Fees for
National Public Lands Day **on September 28, 2024*

*ALBUQUERQUE, NM – September 26, 2024 *– The Cibola National Forest and
National Grasslands (NF & NGs) will waive fees at many day-use recreation
sites for National Public Lands Day (NPLD) on Saturday, Sept. 28.

As the nation's largest, single-day volunteer effort for public lands, NPLD
is a great opportunity for more Americans to get outdoors and connect with
their public lands. https://www.neefusa.org/npld

The theme for NPLD 2024 is “Together for Tomorrow.” From trail maintenance
to tree planting, beach clean-ups to forest bathing, and more, volunteers
of all ages and abilities will roll up their sleeves and join forces for a
common goal—stewarding America's natural resources for future generations
to enjoy.

The Forest Service participates in fee-free days with other federal
agencies to encourage Americans to visit their public lands. The final
fee-free day in 2024 will be Thursday, Nov. 11, in honor of Veterans Day,
which commemorates the end of World War I and pays tribute to military
heroes, past and present.

If you plan to visit National Forests or National Grasslands over the
weekend, know before you go.
