Adopt-a-Stream

Our program in the District of Columbia is funded by the District Department of Energy and the Environment.

To participate in the Adopt-A-Stream programs, volunteers must agree to:

  1. Participate in one mandatory workshop (one opportunity in Fall and one opportunity in Spring)
  2. Collect required data on most prevalent types of trash along their stream corridor twice a year (recommended to do this in spring and in fall) and report the information according to instructions
  3. Organize and lead at least two trash cleanups at the time of data collection
