SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day Volunteer Event at Chickamauga & Chatta
 nooga National Military Park
DESCRIPTION:Join volunteers across the nation on Saturday\, September 26\
 , 2026\, at 9 am\, taking part in National Public Lands Day - the larges
 t single-day volunteer effort for public lands in the United States. Thi
 s year’s activities at Chickamauga &amp\; Chattanooga National Military 
 Park will focus on battlefield restoration in removing vegetation around
  Bald Hill in the Cummings Bottom area of the Lookout Mountain Battlefie
 ld. Participants are asked to park in the mowed area under the power lin
 e just inside the gate on Parker Lane\, Chattanooga\, TN. In November 18
 63\, Union Major General Joseph Hooker occupied Lookout Valley along the
  banks of Lookout Creek. This occupation of Lookout Valley will eventual
 ly lead to the Battle of Lookout Mountain. Over the last 163 years since
  the battle\, this area has been drastically transformed. In partnership
  with the Lookout Mountain Greenway Alliance\, Chickamauga and Chattanoo
 ga National Military Park is hoping to open the area to allow easier ped
 estrian access by clearing away some of the overhanging limbs along trai
 ls and removing invasive plants. National Public Land’s Day participants
  should wear clothes they do not mind getting dirty. For safety reasons 
 and due to the nature of the work\, clothing should include long pants\,
  long-sleeve shirts and closed-toed boots or shoes\, NO open-toed shoes.
  Participants are asked to bring a water bottle as a water cooler will b
 e provided. The park will provide all necessary tools and personal prote
 ctive equipment\, but if a participant wants to bring their own set of g
 loves or protective eyewear\, they may do so.\n\nAdmission: Free\n\nOrga
