Are you passionate about maintaining safe, accessible trails for all to use? Come join Brandywine Creek State Park's Adopt-A-Trail program!
There are over 16 miles of trails at Brandywine Creek, and we can use your help cutting back encroaching vegetation and keeping them clear of debris. During the growing season, primarily March-October, Adopt-A-Trail volunteers are responsible for walking their assigned section of trail and assisting with maintenance and upkeep.
As an Adopt-A-Trail volunteer, you will:
- Cut back vegetation.
- Remove minor obstacles, such as small branches.
- Report major obstacles and unsafe conditions, such as washed out trail sections or large fallen trees.
- Learn about and control some of the invasive plants encroaching on Brandywine Creek trails and threatening park ecosystems.
- Become a little more connected to your favorite park.
- Give back while enjoying the great outdoors.
Adopters visit their assigned section of trail a minimum of once a month between March and October. Training on trimming and basic trail maintenance will be provided before you begin the program. Tools will also be provided. Training is required to participate in the program.
