This is an annual event that is celebrated on the fourth Saturday of September. Entrance fees waived at national parks and public lands, and thousands of volunteers come out to help restore public lands across the country. In celebration of National Public Lands Day locally, volunteers came out in droves to eradicate invasive weeds at Abalone Cove, and to protect newly planted, native species at the Conservancy’s newest restoration sites, at Alta Vicente, and Lunada Canyon.
On November 13, Nature Walking guides will take participants through a native plant demonstration garden with restored coastal sage scrub, and stop in at a former gun emplacement at White Point Nature Preserve to learn about our area’s military history in honor of Veterans Day.
