State Parks Shine During National Public Lands Day 2025

Dec 12, 2025

As the 2025 calendar year concludes, we want to extend our sincere appreciation for your partnership in making National Public Lands Day (NPLD) a success across state-owned lands. Your leadership and commitment resulted in a tremendous turnout, with more than 330 events held on state-owned land, representing participation from over half the states in the U.S. This remarkable effort is a testament to the powerful role state parks play in connecting communities nationwide with their local public lands. We accomplished our collective goal of fostering stewardship and engagement, and we look forward to deepening this impact with you in the years ahead.
