Wilderness Work Day
Require all employees in units which administer Wilderness to spend the day maintaining trails, picking up trash, or rehabilitating recreation sites.

Awareness is important, but also is physical action. By cleaning up wilderness areas you making a tangible difference, plus you get the people who have been removed from wilderness and spend too much time inside back to the reason they have a job. Please don't let this anniversary celebration be a waste of government funds or a ceremonial presentation that has no concrete positive affect.

This is a great idea and would definitely increase awareness of wilderness within the workforce. It would also be a great way to raise awareness outside the government of the importance of a having a strong, supported, and funded federal work staff. This may also be an opportunity to incorporate traditional skills training for staff, where appropriate.
