Mark your calendars for the National Public Lands Day (NPLD) on Saturday, September 24 from 8:00am to 11:30am at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area (ONA). Projects include shoreline cleanup, staining the boardwalk (subject to weather) and pulling lovevine. No registration required.  Meet at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area's Northside parking lot (just off US Hwy1 on S. Beach Road).  The ONA designation was established by Congress primarily to protect unique scenic, scientific, educational, and recreational values. The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse ONA is one of three sites afforded this designation, along with Oregon's Yaquina Head established by Congress in 1980 and California's Piedras Blancas Light Station established alongside the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse in May of 2008.  The 120-acre site in northern Palm Beach County is recognized for its remarkable array of natural and cultural resources. Jupiter High School Environmental Research and Field Studies Academy (JERFSA) has always had a big presence at the NPLD. JERFSA is a four-year course at Jupiter High School designed to meet the needs of talented and motivated students who wish to pursue a rigorous academic curriculum with emphasis on environmental studies.
