CITY OF FORT COLLINS
OUTDOOR ADOPTION PROGRAM
Together...
A More Beautiful Community
Are you a concerned citizen, business, or group that wants to contribute to the beautification of Fort Collins?
|
You may assist the City with outdoor maintenance activities through the Outdoor Adoption Program.
You can help maintain trails, parks, or street medians. Your volunteer work helps keep our outdoor areas beautiful and makes Fort Collins a nicer place to live.
The length of commitment for adoption is one year. The time required varies depending upon the site adopted.
If you don't have time to volunteer, a tax-deductible contribution may be given to the City to finance ongoing maintenance areas.
