PA Healthy Lands Week Now Accepting Event Sign-Ups - Sept. 28 to Oct. 6

The 2024 PA Healthy Lands Week will be held the week of September 28 to October 6.  It is an annual, statewide effort to strengthen Pennsylvanians’ connections with our public lands. 

Through volunteer events, educational programs, and more, it is a rallying cry for public engagement in the places and landscapes that make Pennsylvania home.

This year’s PA Healthy Lands Week also includes National Public Lands Day on September 28 through A Walk in Penn’s Woods Day on October 5.

And YOU can be a part of it too!

Parks departments, land trusts, trail groups and more can register their organization’s events during that week using the Submit Event form on the PA Healthy Lands Week website. 

Registering your event will give you access to new audiences to come out and support your facility.

Healthy Lands Week is a cooperative venture of partners, spearheaded by an organizational committee that includes the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the PA Parks & Forests Foundation, the PA Recreation & Park Society, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and WeConservePA.
