<br>
This year’s awards will fund NPLD projects on military lands that are open to the public for recreation. Now more than ever, DoD is asking applicants to think creatively! How can DoD Natural and Cultural Resources Managers adapt NPLD events to the current
reality?<br>
<br>
NEEF wants to help by expanding hosting options for NPLD this year and offering up to $7,000 through the 2021 NPLD DoD Awards to selected installations to implement natural and cultural resources management, restoration, and/or enhancement projects on or around
this year's National Public Lands Day on September 25, 2021. Installations can host virtual events and/or in-person events, in accordance with local rules and regulations.<br>
<br>
Applicants must be a Department of Defense installation site that is open to the public for recreation, including lands managed by the US Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, National Guard, or Navy. Lands managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers are not eligible
for award funds.<br>
