National Public Lands Day Party
What
- Come on up to celebrate our nation’s public lands as we host our inaugural National Public Lands Day Party. With over 33 million acres of public lands in Idaho alone, we have a LOT to celebrate. They provide us with boundless recreational opportunities from the Boise foothills to the Frank Church Wilderness and conserve vital fish and wildlife habitats for generations to come. Feeling like giving back? Join us for the pre-party to plant native grasses and wildflowers from 10:00 am to 11:30 am. Psst, you’ll also get a free t-shirt if you volunteer.
Activities will include:
- Fun and informative booths and activities from local land management agencies and conservation groups who work to protect and preserve our public lands.
- Raffle prizes (tickets are free!)
- Free guided nature hikes
- Nature-based crafts and activities
When & Where
Please meet on the lawn in front of the J.R. Simplot Lodge.
September 28 @ 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
