The Wonders of Our Nation: Thankful Thursday
Americans own the most majestic land in the world. Why not explore this boundless heritage for free? Thanks to America’s Greatest Outdoor initiative, our parks are open for free on select 2010 dates.
Across the U.S., National parks, wildlife refuges and BLM lands will be open for free access on:
- June 5-6, 2010
- August 14-15, 2010
- September 24, 2010
- November 11, 2010
“President Obama has made connecting Americans to the outdoors and our history a fundamental goal of the conservation initiative. . .” announced Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar recently. 
Special activities are being scheduled during these days, too. To learn more. . .
