National Public Lands Day Fee Free Coupons and Fee-Free Day 27 September
A quick reminder - you need to have your site registered by 3 September to be included in the final pre-event mailing of fee-free coupons for your volunteers. You can still get the coupons if you register later, but you may not get them in time to hand out on the day of the event. Just click the box towards the end of the registration page to request coupons.

Also, Mr. Steven L. Stockton, Director of Civil Works, authorized all Corps- managed recreation areas to waive day-use fees on 27 September to celebrate National Public Lands Day. If you have planned an event, no matter how big or how small, don't forget to register it online at http://www.publiclandsday.org/register-site

NPLD is a nationwide event which encourages the public to volunteer their time to help care for, or simply to get out and enjoy, their public lands. In 2013, 115 USACE lakes celebrated NPLD with more than 16,500 volunteers! Corps staff brought these volunteers together to clean 1,600 miles of shoreline and maintain 135 miles of trails. In addition, 680 acres of habitat were improved. Let's continue this tradition of NPLD excellence and bring even greater numbers of volunteers and stewards to our lands and waters.

Thank you for taking the time to organize and register your NPLD event. I am this year's coordinator for the Corps. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks,
Sue Gehrt
