WALLA WALLA, Wash. – Volunteers at Whitman Mission National Historic Site will join thousands of people across the nation for the largest single-day public lands volunteer effort, National Public Lands Day. The event is September 28 from 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. The event includes an invasive species clean-up.
Volunteers should register before the event. To register as a volunteer, call 509-522-6360 or email whmi_volunteer@nps.gov. Volunteers will work outside and should wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, long sleeves, and sunscreen. Volunteers should also bring a water bottle.
Coordinated by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), National Public Lands Day brings together volunteers from coast to coast to improve and restore the lands and facilities that people across America use and enjoy every day. Each year, National Public Lands Day volunteers provide tens of millions of dollars’ worth of services in one day that would otherwise take limited park staff months to accomplish.
Whitman Mission National Historic Site is located 8 miles west of Walla Walla, WA, on Whitman Mission Road. Park admission is free. For more information, please contact Whitman Mission National Historic Site at 509-522-6360, or visit www.nps.gov/whmi.
