Thousands of people nationwide will roll up their sleeves and get a good workout in beautiful, natural settings by participating in the 23rd annual National Public Lands Day. Attendees will join park rangers and volunteers in removing invasive plants, picking up litter and doing other work from 9 a.m. to noon, September 24, at Lovers Key State Park, in Fort Myers, to help ensure it remains a pristine habitat for a rich diversity of wildlife.

Participants should wear closed-toed shoes. Refillable water bottles, sunscreen, hats, gloves and bug repellent are highly recommended.
