National Public Lands Day is the time to give back. If you've noticed that the trails you are hiking in the national forests or parks were worn deep from the tread of too many boots, you can do something about it. Volunteer to help fix trails, plant trees and clean-up during the annual National Public Lands Day, September 26, 2009. You won't be alone. In 2008, more than 120,000 people volunteered, building trails and bridges, removing trash and invasive plants, and planting 1.6 million trees.
