Please contact the Parkway Foundation for Information about Adopting a Mile on the Parkway.
Founded in 1993, the Adopt-the-Parkway program allows people to have a close, personal stake in the well-being of the Parkway. Individuals, businesses, and organizations adopt a mile of the Parkway as either a financial sponsor or volunteer steward.
Volunteer stewards commit to spending approximately 20 hours per quarter to clean-up and maintenance projects on their mile. Financial sponsors make a two-year commitment to contribute $1250 per year. This contribution covers the hard costs of the Adopt the Parkway program: volunteer coordination, tools, and supplies. Sponsors and stewards are recognized on a Parkway sign located along the paved trail of "their" mile.
Each year, Volunteer Stewards provide about 3000 hours of service on their adopted miles. Volunteer activities include trash pick up, trail maintenance, weed removal, graffiti removal and other special projects.
