What does "adopting" a portion of the trail look like?

Adopting a portion of a trail means you are committed to helping beautify our trails. While there is no specific portion of the trail assigned to volunteers, we encourage you to select part of a trail that is close to home/school/work or that you frequent often. Adopting the trail looks like:

  • Picking up litter
  • Removing debris from trail paths
  • Reporting items like graffiti or out lights on SeeClickFix

What's in a Chip-In Starter Kit?

Starting November 1, 2024, the City will provide a Chip-In Starter Kit to get volunteers started on efforts to keep our trails beautiful. Stop by City Hall during open hours to pick up your kit which includes:

  • Trash bags
  • Trash picker upper
  • Gloves
  • Bike flasher
  • Useful information
  • More fun items for when you're on the trails!
