Adopt-a-Trail Volunteer Program (KPSP)

Adopt-a-Trail Program

The Delaware State Parks Adopt-a-Trail Program was established to help individuals and groups become active environmental stewards of the various types of trails within Delaware State Parks.  Trail adopters regularly monitor our trails, performing basic maintenance tasks on the trail and reporting larger concerns or issues for staff to address.  Through monitoring efforts, our trail adopters help keep the trails clear and safe for all to enjoy.  Thank YOU for your interest in being a part of this program!

Task you would be completing:

· Pick up trash

· Remove natural debris

· Trim Vegetation

· Invasive plant removal (only after being trained by Park Staff)

· Report areas of concern

Time Commitment:

Trail volunteers come out to their trail at any time that works for them, within Park operating hours. Volunteers commit to monitoring their trail at least once a month. Trail volunteers can expect to spend 1 - 2 hours on their trails each visit, depending on the length of their trail and work level.

Reporting:

For each monitoring visit, trail volunteers submit a trail report documenting any work that they did on the trail and describing any additional work required by staff.

Benefits of the Program:

• Park Pass
• Volunteer Badge
• Recognition
