Adopt-A-Site is a great way for an existing group of six or more people to assist the Forest Service in maintaining a Developed Recreation Site. Numerous sites are available along the Verde and Salt Rivers.
Duties vary by site and are likely include:
- Light vegetation maintenance — pruning, lopping, removing grass and weeds
- Painting tables, ramadas, restrooms, curbs, dumpsters
- Cleaning debris from curbs and drainages
- Removing graffiti and reporting vandalism
- Removing trash, including broken glass
- Cleaning out cold fire pits/grills
- Kiosk maintenance
- Scrubbing picnic tables
- Assuring toilet paper is available in the restrooms, sweeping and mopping floors
Let us know if your group would like to assist the Forest Service by adopting a site!
