Groton Trail System

ADOPT-A-TRAIL PROGRAM
Groton Trail System

Do you enjoy the Groton trails?
Do you enjoy hiking on the trails in Groton? Do you have a favorite part of the trail system? Are you interested in caring for trails? The Adopt-a-trail program may be for you!  Adopt-a-Trail is an all-volunteer program that allows the public to be actively involved in conserving and maintaining the trail system throughout the Town and Village of Groton. Individuals or groups may adopt a trail or segment of a trail by volunteering their time to help keep the trail clean and safe. This program is open to community groups, businesses, churches, and individual citizens.

Duties and Expectations
The expectation is that the volunteer(s) will monitor the trail section monthly from April through November. You would help trim back brush, clean up and remove trash, and report any further work needed to the Recreation Director. You serve as an extra set of eyes for the Recreation Department to watch for downed signs, damaged equipment, and vandalism. Regular maintenance will improve the appearance of your trail and make caring for it much easier!

Recognition
Any interested organization, individuals and neighborhood groups can care for their "own" section of the trail. Adopt-a-Trail signs will be placed on the trails and in the parks to recognize those volunteers who have taken part of their valuable time to keep our trails clean and preserving this valuable asset for the community.

Get Involved!
If you would like to learn more or get the process started contact the Director of Recreation at recreation@grotonny.org or download our Adopt a Trail Application below.
