Local cleanup group to celebrate national day

National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the country’s public lands.

More than 125,000 volunteers help build trails, bridges, plant trees, remove garbage and remove invasive plants.

Gary Solomon, Sand Sifters organizer, said his local cleanup group would celebrate the 15th annual National Public Lands Day with a cleanup of its own 8 to 10:30 a.m. Sept. 6 at Oceanfront Park, 6415 N Ocean Blvd.

Solomon said free T-shirts are available while supplies last. For the Public Lands Day, a commemorative poster will also be given out.
