全國(guó)公共土地日志愿者
Summer may be coming to a close, but that doesn't mean you have to bolt the door and hide inside. Fall is the perfect time to take a walk in the woods. From the aspens in California to the oaks in Virginia, leaves are changing color, and combined with the crisp, cool days of autumn — and the changing season makes for excellent hiking conditions.
夏天可能就要結(jié)束了,但這并不意味著你必須把門鎖上,躲在里面。秋天是在樹林里散步的最佳時(shí)間。從加利福尼亞的白楊樹到弗吉尼亞的橡樹,樹葉的顏色在不斷變化,再加上秋高氣爽的天氣,季節(jié)的變化為遠(yuǎn)足提供了絕佳的條件。

You can take advantage of the season on Saturday (Sept. 28) by heading to your favorite national park, national forest or wildlife preserve where you can enjoy nature, as well as free admission for the whole family. Better yet, sign up to volunteer at your favorite public land for National Public Lands Day and you'll have a sense of pride knowing that you helped preserve a national treasure. You can find an event near you with this map.
周六(9月28日),你可以去你最喜歡的國(guó)家公園、國(guó)家森林或野生動(dòng)物保護(hù)區(qū),在那里你可以享受自然,也可以全家免費(fèi)入場(chǎng)。更棒的是,在你最喜歡的公共土地上報(bào)名成為國(guó)家公共土地日的志愿者,你會(huì)有一種自豪感,因?yàn)槟銕椭Wo(hù)了國(guó)家的財(cái)富。你可以用這張地圖找到你附近的事件。
National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest, single-day volunteer event for public lands. It began in 1994 with three sites and 700 volunteers and has grown into a huge movement to carry on the tradition of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which worked during the Great Depression to help preserve America's national treasures.
全國(guó)公共土地日是全國(guó)最大的、為期一天的公共土地志愿活動(dòng)。它始于1994年,有3個(gè)遺址和700名志愿者,現(xiàn)已發(fā)展成為一場(chǎng)延續(xù)平民保護(hù)隊(duì)傳統(tǒng)的大型運(yùn)動(dòng)。平民保護(hù)隊(duì)在大蕭條時(shí)期幫助保護(hù)美國(guó)的國(guó)寶。
Even if you decide not to volunteer, you can still support your favorite public lands by visiting them. The National Park service will have one more fee-free event this year for Veterans Day on Nov. 11.
即使你決定不做志愿者,你仍然可以通過參觀來支持你最喜歡的公共土地。美國(guó)國(guó)家公園管理局將在今年11月11日的退伍軍人節(jié)上再舉辦一次免費(fèi)活動(dòng)。
