Celebrate National Public Lands Day this weekend with a Hometown Pride Clean Up.
The Lassen Land and Trails Trust, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and Lassen County Chamber of Commerce invite you to participate in local cleanup and improvement projects in Susanville on Saturday, September 28.
From 9 a.m. to noon, volunteers will work at the historic Susanville Railroad Depot, Main Street, and along the Bizz Johnson Trail. Organizers ask that you meet at 9 a.m. at the Susanville Railroad Depo to form project teams. Activities will include picking up litter and performing light maintenance tasks.

National Public Lands Day, coordinated by the National Environmental Education Foundation, is an annual event to encourage public participation in the care of public lands. Since its inception in 1994, the event has mobilized volunteers across the country to contribute time and effort toward improving public spaces.
In the past decade, over a million volunteers have donated nearly five million hours to the cause, with an estimated value of $133 million.
