National Public Lands Day 2025 will be Saturday, September 27. 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 branded item and a day pass to a national park as a thank you for participating. You can add additional participant names in the comment field.

Registration by September 5th is required to receive a t-shirt. Registration will close on September 19th for participation in the event without a t-shirt.

Volunteers will be directing cars to parking areas for the annual Fall Raptor Release with The Raptor Center and will need to be able to walk on uneven surfaces in an open field. Please bring a water bottle, boots, and dress for the weather.
