The Adopt-A-Road/Adopt-A-Trail program helps to organize volunteers to assist the City with keeping Kamloops' roadsides and nature trails clear of litter. The program, which has been in existence since the 1980s, currently has 127 groups and individuals associated with 38 trails and 50 kms of city roads. Volunteers help maintain the beautiful appearance of our community and our environment. In 2018, the City launched the Adopt-A-Trail program, which allows groups or individuals to help keep the City's trail network litter free. 

If you are interested in adopting a section of a City street or a trail, please follow the steps below:
