National Public Lands Day 2024 is a statewide event that provides unique opportunities for Minnesota Master Naturalist Volunteers to participate in our largest single day of service. Locations across the state will have MNats and others out helping to make Minnesota a better place!

Friends and family are welcome to participate but must be registered to participate. Everyone will sign a photo release upon site registration. All participants will receive a free NPLD-branded item and a day pass to a national park as a thank-you for participating.

Volunteers will prepare the pollinator garden for the planting of plugs. Tasks will include shoveling gravel edge, laying down weed fabric, planting plugs, and mulching new plants. This will be a physical task. Volunteers will also be removing invasive species from around the old barn foundation. Lunch will be provided.
