The Bureau of Land Management Rawlins Field Office invites individuals, families and groups to participate in its annual National Public Lands Day event on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Serena Baker says that this year, volunteers will help construct tent pads, repair picnic tables, fix fire rings, install water filters, paint restrooms, pull weeds, and pick up litter at the Corral Creek Campground along the North Platte River southeast of Saratoga.
Gas powered weed eaters are also needed for the event. Children must be at least eight years old to volunteer. Participants are also asked to bring a sack lunch, plenty of water, and provide their own transportation, 4-wheel drive vehicles are recommended.
Volunteers collected an estimated 23,000 pounds of invasive plants, built and maintained an estimated 1,500 miles of trails, planted an estimated 100,000 trees, shrubs and other native plants, removed an estimated 500 tons of trash from trails and other places and contributed an estimated $18 million through volunteer services to improve public lands across the country.
