NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS DAY AT LONGFELLOW
Established in 1994 and held annually on the fourth Saturday in September; this year on September 27th, 2025; National Public Lands Day is traditionally the nation's largest single-day volunteer effort. It celebrates the connection between people and green space in their community, inspires environmental stewardship, and encourages use of open space for education, recreation, and health benefits.
Volunteers and staff will be removing invasive species and picking up trash at Longfellow Evangeline State Historic Site from 9:00 am to Noon. Volunteers are asked to wear protective clothing and bring gloves.
Water will be provided.
Longfellow Evangeline SHS is the first state park in here on the scenic Bayou Teche. We preserve, protect, and present the history of the Creole, Acadian, and enslaved settlers who made Louisiana such a rich cultural treasure. Hope to see you soon.
Hours of Operation: 9:00am - 5:00pm
