What is the Adopt-a-Trail program? The Adopt-a-Trail program is an all-volunteer effort that provides individuals an opportunity to help conserve and maintain our trails. By “adopting” a KLT, volunteers take responsibility for helping with trail upkeep. Trail adopters become helpful assistants by monitoring their chosen trail and providing some basic maintenance throughout the year.
Who can adopt a trail? Any interested family, organization, individual or neighborhood group can care for a trail. The primary adopter must be at least 18 years old, however, involving youngsters is highly encouraged! What are the duties of an Adopt-a-Trail volunteer? The expectation is for adopters to provide basic assistance to the Conservation Crew in maintaining their selected trail. Activities include keeping the trail surface and corridor clear, cleaning drainage ditches, and clearing debris from bridges. Other responsibilities include litter clean-up, maintaining the trailhead area, and reporting trail hazards for safety issues. Of major importance, adopters serve as an extra set of eyes for the Stewardship committee. Additional visits after storms or whenever convenient are certainly appreciated. Training: KLT Stewards will provide orientation and train volunteers in safe techniques for accomplishing Adopt-a-Trail duties, and work with groups to get them started. Staff will work with volunteers until both parties are comfortable, and will continue to coordinate activities after the adopters are working on their own. Ready to adopt a trail? Go ahead and fill out our Adopt a Trail Form. Select the Property you are interested in and we will work with you to select a trail that best fits your interests as well as KLT needs.
