If you leave your house, if you take the subway, if you watch TV, if you do *anything* other than sit in a dark bunker closed off from the world – then you know Ken Burns’s new documentary *[The National Parks: America’s Best Idea](http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks/about/?ref=bklyner.com)* is premiering on PBS on Sunday, September 27.

To celebrate the television event, [National Parks](http://www.nps.gov/index.htm?ref=bklyner.com) across the country are asking citizens to join them tomorrow, September 26, in “[A Day of Service and Celebration](http://www.nps.gov/september26/?ref=bklyner.com)“. Plumb Beach will be hosting the event for our area, and organizers are asking neighbors to turn out “to make America’s Best Idea – the national parks – even better.”

Gateway National Recreation Area is [seeking volunteers](http://www.nps.gov/september26/event%5Fdetail.cfm?id=19722&ref=bklyner.com) (and [here](http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/vol/1390580704.html?ref=bklyner.com)) to assist with various park cleanup activities at Plumb Beach. To thank volunteers, the park is offering a sneak peak of the Ken Burns’ epic documentary. The preview will be running from 9 am to 1 pm.

• 8:30 am to 9 am – Register for volunteer event at Plumb Beach (Belt Parkway between exits 9 and 11)  
• 9 am to 1 pm – Volunteer work activities
