What is Adopt-A-Trail?

The purpose of this program is to assist park maintenance crews in litter control along the greenway system. An organization or group of individuals can adopt a section of trail for a period of one year.

Volunteers are recognized by a sign, with their organizational name, at each end of their section.

Adopters are responsible for litter control along their section of trail (usually 1 mile or less) at least twice per month.

What are the Adopt-A-Trail Policies?

1. The adopting organization commits to a one-year period of adoption. At the end of that time, an organization can renew, change sections, or terminate.
2. There is a two-year consecutive limit to this opportunity in the event that some other organization is waiting to adopt your section of the trail. If no other organization is waiting, you can continue to adopt it for another term.
3. Monitoring of your section should be done at least twice per month.
4. The City of White House will provide the trash bags and will be responsible for collecting and disposing of the filled bags. The Parks Department should be notified in advance in order to schedule the collection of bags.
5. The City of White House will place a sign at each end of your section crediting your organization for litter control.
