WHAT: |
More than 170,000 participants nationwide
will visit their favorite public parks, beaches, wildlife
preserves or forests to learn and enjoy more about these
treasured places as part of National Public Lands Day. On
Saturday, September 25, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the City
of Orlando will host its first National Public Lands Day at
Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake.
Hundreds of volunteers are already signed
up to make this Orlando event possible. Volunteers will be
educating, clean up walking trails and making Bill Frederick
Park a better place.
Visitors are invited to enjoy special
activities and demonstrations including fishing, butterfly
art projects, hiking, bird watching, disc golf clinics,
boating, camping and more. At 11 a.m., there will be a
special presentation by Doug Hannon, “The Bass Professor,”
the world’s leading authority on bass fishing.
This year marks the 17th annual National
Public Lands Day, an event that brings together thousands of
volunteers from coast to coast to improve and restore the
lands and facilities that Americans use for recreation,
education and enjoyment. Last year more than 150,000
Americans participated at sites in all 50 states.
