National Public Lands Day Age: All National Public Lands Day (also called NPLD) is the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer event for public lands. NPLD brings together many thousands of individual and organizational volunteers to help restore the country’s public lands. These are the places Americans use for outdoor recreation, education and just plain enjoyment. Research shows that one step to preventing childhood obesity, diabetes and depression is getting kids and families to spend more time outside. NPLD is a great way to get acquainted with local, as well as national public lands, while meeting other volunteers and community members. Bring the family out for a morning of service and learning at the Glen Ellyn Park District! Our plan for NPLD includes supervised children’s activities, a hike around the park, storytelling, a scavenger hunt and craft projects. Adults and older children can also assist staff on restoration efforts. Refreshments will be provided. Instructor: Renae Frigo, GEPD Naturalist.
