🌅 Good morning, RootBadger. Saturday's First Dig has an East Coast storm update and a timely way to help care for public lands.
🗞️ Reuters morning read: A strong nor'easter is expected to bring heavy rain, flooding, dangerous rip currents, and powerful gusts to parts of the East Coast from Maine to Washington, D.C., this weekend. Reuters reports that the FAA warned of possible disruption at the three major New York-area airports, Amtrak said Northeast service could be affected, and the National Weather Service said gusts may reach 55 mph in some places.

🌲 Useful this morning: Today is National Public Lands Day. The National Park Service calendar lists volunteer projects running through October 10, including trail work, habitat restoration, and litter cleanup. Check the event details before leaving—some require registration—and ask the host park whether volunteers receive a coupon waiving a future entrance fee.
