National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer effort for public lands.
Held on the fourth Saturday in September each year, NPLD fosters a strong connection between people and the environment, educating and cultivating environmental stewards.
From trail maintenance to tree planting, beach clean-ups to forest bathing, and more, volunteers of all ages and abilities will roll up their sleeves and join forces for a common goal: stewarding America’s natural resources for future generations to enjoy.
Thanks to the members of community-driven environmental groups like Sierra Club, and with support from federal and state agencies, this event ensures resilient natural spaces for generations to come, encouraging volunteering and environmental engagement.
The Santa Monica Mountains Task Force is hosting an “Intro to Trail Maintenance” event in Topanga State Park on Saturday (9/28) in celebration of NPLD 2024.

The Dead Horse Trail was designed and constructed by Sierra Club volunteers — ie. our very own Ron Webster and his Trailies — in 1980. You are invited to join the crew for a “taste” of our regular Saturday events, as we carry out routine maintenance and minor repairs. We will have complimentary coffee and donuts at the trailhead, starting from 8:00 am (the volunteer activity begins at 8:30 am). For more information contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Rachel Glegg, at smmtaskforce@gmail.com.
Additionally, there will be a Sierra Club information booth at the Dead Horse parking lot throughout the morning, where folks can drop by to learn about the many fantastic recreational and stewardship opportunities taking place in the Santa Monica Mountains with Sierra Club Angeles Chapter.
Hope to see you there!
