NPLD events took place all across Oregon and Washington. Thanks to all the volunteers that came out to help improve our nation's public lands!
Volunteers from the Vale area and BLM staff helped to clean up and improve the Owyhee River Corridor. Volunteers covered up graffiti, picked up trash and mounted birdhouses at the Watchable Wildlife Viewing Area. The Owyhee River area is a heavily used recreation area for everything from water activities like river rafting, fishing visiting hot springs, to camping, hiking and horseback riding.

More than 75 people showed up for a sunny day of work at the Tumalo Historic Canal Trailhead in the Cline Buttes Recreation Area near Redmond, Oregon, to help the Prineville District BLM put some finishing touches on the new trailhead.
Volunteers built trail, moved rock, constructed split rail fence and put some overall polish at this new site designed for hikers and equestrian riders. We couldn't have done the work without our partners at the Oregon Military Department, Oregon Equestrian Trails, REI, and Oregon State Parks!

Volunteer projects at the Stewart Pond area of the wetlands included trail maintenance and removing non-native plant species to promote access to the site, as well as habitat restoration for wetlands species. This work built on recent efforts by the BLM and other members of the Rivers to Ridges Partnership to restore this portion of the wetlands.
The West Eugene Wetlands encompass over 3,000 acres of wet prairies and oak upland habitat that were historically common in our area, but are rare today. This unique landscape provides for an abundance of native flora and fauna including the western meadowlark, Oregon’s state bird, and Lane County’s highest known diversity of dragonflies and damselflies. The wetlands also provide habitat for a number of rare plants including Kincaid’s lupine and the Willamette Valley Daisy.

A wise old man was on his daily walk along the beach. At a distance he noticed a little boy reaching down to pick something up and throwing it into the ocean, then tirelessly repeating it over and over again.
The old man curiously moved closer to find out what he was up to. The boy was picking up starfish left stranded by the ebbing tide, and tossing them back into the water, one by one, as if trying to save them all from dying and also from the hungry seagulls.
Convinced of the futility of the task the boy had taken upon himself, the old man went up to him and said, "Son, hundreds of starfish dry up on this beach everyday. What you're doing simply won't make a difference."
Clearly hearing what the old man had said, the little boy bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it as far as he could, back into the water. Then he looked at the old man, smiled and politely said,
"Well, it made a difference to that one!"
i'll never forget the day i heard this story at an anti-war rally, back in 2006.....

NPLD 2015 is in the books for the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse ONA. 2015 also marks the 20th annual for this event, and a great event it was.
Approximately 85 volunteers from the local community, Jupiter High School and local Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts participated in the early morning event. Volunteers retrieved approximately 200 lbs of trash - with many reporting how clean the mangroves and shoreline were compared with previous events. In addition, volunteers removed approximately 600 lbs of the parasitic lovevine, which improves both the ecosystem health and ascetics of the trails on site.

It was another successful National Public Lands Day with the help of our partners: Friends of Black Rock High Rock, Friends of Nevada Wilderness, and Nevada Outdoor School. The annual event took place on the Black Rock Desert, a favorite camping destination for many. There were two public service projects planned: cleanup of a dump site at Razorback Ridge and fence removal in Hualapai Valley.
