What's Adopt-A-Trail?

Adopt-A-Trail is empowered by concerned citizens, businesses, and organizations who want to make the greenway experience as pleasant as possible.  This program is a great way to enjoy the greenways and trials while at the same time helping to keep them open, safe and in good condition!

  • Volunteers shall be at least 13 years of age. Volunteers under 18 years old shall be closely supervised and have parental consent to participate in trail cleanups.
