Join with our chapter and individuals across the country in celebrating National Public Lands Day! Each year, hundreds of thousands of volunteers nationwide come together on the fourth Saturday in September to assist with projects designed to restore and enhance public parks, forests, waterways and more. National Public Lands Day is the largest single-day volunteer effort on behalf of America’s public lands.

Help the Waukesha/Milwaukee Chapter celebrate National Public Lands Day at the Aldo Leopold Overlook in Hartland from 9 to noon. We are in the final stages of months-long work to clear the hillside and show buckthorn who’s boss. Who knows how many mature oaks and hickories we will find buried in the buckthorn!

All tools and training are provided – just bring a water bottle and appropriate work clothes, including sturdy gloves and footwear and long pants and sleeves. Insect repellant is recommended.
