National Public Lands Day
Love Nevada as much as we do? With the most public lands in the Lower 48 and 60 million acres of awe-inspiring, diverse, and unexpectedly beautiful landscapes, there’s no better place to celebrate National Public Lands Day. On the fourth Saturday of every September, entrance fees are waived for a variety of state and federally managed public lands, including state and national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and more.
In Nevada, this land is literally your land. Whether you’re looking to get outdoors on a budget or partake in a day of stewardship, celebrate National Public Lands Day across 60 million acres of the Silver State.
Founded by the National Environmental Education Foundation, National Public Lands Day has become the largest single-day volunteer effort for public lands stewardship in the nation.
