Celebrate National Public Lands Day

Join us on Sept. 25th in celebrating and protecting our nation’s public lands – wherever you live!

We’re fortunate to have a cabin at the foothills of the Smoky Mountain National Park.  So we get to spend a lot of time hiking the trails, riding the roads, and floating the rivers. This Saturday we plan to visit the Nantahala Forest with a stop at NOC, a magical place where the Appalachian Trail crosses the river just above Wesser Falls.

National Public Lands Day is a great opportunity to help the environment while exploring some of our nation’s amazing great outdoors with your friends and family. NPLD is the nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance our public lands. Last year 150,000 volunteers joined together around the country to celebrate service and recreation by planting trees, removing trash, building trails and bridges and restoring our water resources.
