Ozark National Scenic Riverways will host an annual volunteer event in recognition of National Public Lands Day 2022 on Saturday at locations along the Jacks Fork River and middle Current River. Registration for the event will begin at 10 a.m. at the Burr Oak pavilion at Alley Spring.
National Public Lands Day (usually observed on the fourth Saturday of September) is an annual event designed to encourage people to get outside and visit places like Ozark National Scenic Riverways. National Public Lands Day is also a national volunteer effort to encourage visitors to give back to the very lands we use to hike, bike, swim, explore, picnic, or just relax. It began in 1994 with three federal agencies and 700 volunteers. Now, eight federal agencies and many state and local lands participate in this annual day of caring for shared lands. It is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance public lands!
