Adopt-a-Trail

Colorado is famous for its extensive network of hiking trails, parks, and open spaces. Keeping these trails in great shape requires ongoing maintenance, but land managers often have limited resources . This is where volunteer programs like Adopt-a-Trail come in. By adopting a trail, park, or open space, everyday Coloradans help pick up litter, repair damage, and ensure our outdoor spaces remain enjoyable for all. As the City of Colorado Springs notes, “with these wonderful amenities comes the great responsibility to be good stewards of these public lands” . If you love Colorado’s outdoors, here are ways you can get involved in volunteer trail stewardship – from adopting your own trail to joining community cleanup events.
