Adopt-a-Park or Trail

The Adopt-a-Park or Trail program is a great way for individuals, groups, or businesses to contribute to their local community. By participating in this program, you help increase public awareness of the importance of protecting our green spaces and natural heritage, generate pride in our park system, and demonstrate commitment to your community.


How it Works
The Adopt-a-Park or Trail program requires a minimum commitment of three to four volunteer work party events per year, to be agreed upon between the Adoptee group and the Volunteer Manager.

Some examples of Adopt-a-Park or Trail activities include:

  • brush clean-up
  • litter pick-up
  • tree planting
  • flower-bed weeding and/or planting
  • invasive weed removal
  • trail maintenance
  • monitoring restoration efforts
  • and many other projects

Sign up today!

  1. Identify the park or trail you would like to adopt and the types of activities you and your group are willing to perform
  2. Download and complete the application form and return it to the Volunteer Manager, who will contact you shortly thereafter to talk more about your park or trail and project ideas.
  3. Once the “adoption” is approved, you're ready to go! Our Volunteer Manager is available to assist you to make sure your volunteer efforts are a success!
