This Saturday marks the 14th annual National Lands Day, an event organized to educate the public on critical environmental and natural resource issues. By welcoming volunteers to participate in the clean-up of our natural lands, it also promotes the idea that when we, as a community, pull together, we can preserve the beauty of the area we live in. In fact, we need to pull together as a community.
I learned about this event just recently and decided that this year I would not only participate, but document it for an upcoming broadcast of OC News. I am hoping that this story will shed a little more light on the event, raise awareness regarding the need to care for our land, and hopefully encourage people to participate in the years ahead.
Just like the house we live in, the world, on a much larger scale, is our home. Every home needs up-keep and repair from time to time. Just as a family divides the chores and everyone contributes, so should we as a community, and most importantly, as a nation.
