In August 2016, Friends of Carrollton GreenBelt partnered with Keep Carroll Beautiful to promote the Adopt-A-Trail volunteer program.

The Adopt-A-Trail initiative is an excellent way for individuals, families, and organizations to get involved with the Carrollton GreenBelt by supplementing the maintenance efforts of the City of Carrollton Parks Department. Carrollton community is invited to take responsibility for the trail by performing simple tasks, including picking up litter, reporting repair needs, and cleaning trail signage.

Anyone can sign up to care for a section of the trail. We welcome individuals, families, churches, social groups, schools, scout troops, community organizations, and businesses. As some parts of the trail are longer and more remote than others, groups of at least two volunteers are encouraged.

Becoming an AAT Volunteer

During their one-year commitment, volunteers visit their trail section to perform the following tasks:

  • Assess and report any maintenance needs or vandalism to the Facility & Parks Maintenance (770 834-8522)
  • Remove any small debris that may be on the trail
  • Collect and dispose of any litter along the trail corridor
  • Clean trail signs (as needed)
  • Trim around trail signs (as needed)

Application

We are accepting applications on a first come – first serve basis. The Friends of Carrollton Greenbelt and Keep Carroll Beautiful reserve the right to decline applications for any reason. The returning AAT Volunteers will be able to keep their section or choose a new one until the orientation meeting. Some sections may also be reserved for youth groups or seniors.

Reporting Cleanups

Keep Carroll Beautiful collects data from all our volunteer activities. We report that data to our state and national affiliate networks and inform the public on progress in addressing litter issues. Please take a few minutes after the cleanup to send us your group’s name, number of volunteers, time spent on the trail, and number of bags of trash collected. You can email us or fill out the form below! Thank you!
