National Public Lands Day at Carters Lake! What a National Public Lands Day at Carters Lake!

What a day! 175 people came out to Carters Lake to celebrate National Public Lands Day by volunteering their time, getting outside, and helping take care of the public lands we all enjoy.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to be outside, have fun, and work together as a community. National Public Lands Day is a great reminder that our public lands belong to all of us, and it takes a community working together to keep these special places beautiful and enjoyable for everyone.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and to all of the organizations and partners who helped make the day possible! During lunch and throughout the event, our partners were there to talk with guests, share information, and give visitors a chance to learn more about the wildlife, recreation, and natural resources around Carters Lake.

Thank you again to all the volunteers, partners, and community members who spent the day giving back to Carters Lake. Your time, energy, and teamwork made this National Public Lands Day one to remember!
