Take advantage of National Public Lands Day this Saturday

National Public Lands Day this Saturday grants free access to national parks, including North Cascades National Park in Washington. Visitors can enjoy the great outdoors without needing a Discover Pass, fostering public engagement with nature. Although no events are organized at North Cascades, a volunteer opportunity will take place at Mount Rainier National Park starting at 8 a. m. , allowing participants to contribute to park maintenance and preservation efforts.

The initiative underscores the importance of public lands and encourages community involvement. This fee-free day is part of a larger campaign to promote awareness and appreciation for natural spaces across the country. In 2025, the next scheduled fee-free day for national parks is set for October 10, giving the public further opportunities to explore these vital areas. National Public Lands Day highlights the ongoing effort to connect citizens with the environment and inspire stewardship. Such initiatives play a crucial role in preserving natural resources for future generations.
