National Public Lands Day 2026 will be Saturday, September 26. This 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 MNat t-shirt as a thank you for participating. You can add additional participant names in the comment field.
Registration by September 4th is required to receive a t-shirt. Registration will close on September 18th for participation in the event without a t-shirt.
Join the Lost Valley Prairie Volunteer Site Stewards for a fall prairie seed collection event!
Tools, instructions, and good camaraderie will be provided. Bring water, lunch, and dress for working in the weather. If you have your own gloves you'd like to use, please bring those as well. Footwear appropriate for outdoor work/hiking is recommended. There are no maintained trails or recreational facilities on this site. We have had some really enjoyable NPLD workdays in the past at Lost Valley Prairie SNA - hosting up to 40 volunteers! We're limited now in scope to 20 due to rusty patch bumble bee restrictions - but should still have quite an enjoyable and educational day out on the prairie! Fall is such a great time out on the prairie!
Seed collections supplies will be provided.
ADD any family members or friends by name with t-shirt sizes in the comments section, along with any dietary restrictions or special accommodations.
