Celebrate National Public Lands Day while enjoying the fall colors at Greenbelt Park!
Just 12 miles from Washington, D.C., Greenbelt Park’s 1,100 wooded acres are home to red fox, deer and other wildlife.
On September 28, we’ll come together to clear trails, clean up camp and playground areas, and spruce up the park. This is Greenbelt’s last big volunteer event before the roads are closed until 2020 for resurfacing. (Trails will remain open, though, so hiking and picnicking can continue.)
Join NPCA and celebrate our public lands with a day of service at Greenbelt Park!
