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
- Training
Once you sign up under this opportunity you will be emailed to set up a time to meet with the Volunteer Coord. to go over more details, sign service agreement and set up a training time.
