Created in 1991 by Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation with 6 initial sections, the Adopt-A-Greenway program has been a way for individuals, groups, or organizations to support the trails with a commitment to helping keep the trails clean and beautiful. The program found a home with the City of Fort Wayne Greenways and Trails Department for many years and dozens of groups helped keep the trails within the city limits clean. As the network has grown and continues to extend further and further into the County it only made sense for Fort Wayne Trails to continue the growth of this amazing program. We acquired the program in early 2024 and have started extending the program to include all trails within Allen County. The program as grown from its first 6 sections to over 75 and is still growing as more trails are built.

Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a section of trail.

Our Adopt-A-Greenway groups help keep the trails looking beautiful all year round.

1.  Assemble your team! Do you have a group of friends or an organization that you are of that is interested? Great!

2. Email our Director of Community Engagement or call our office about your interest and if you have a specific section of available trail that your group in interested in.

3. Sign your Adopt-A-Greenway contract! Our Director of Community Engagement will share this with you once a trail section is decided upon. This contract must be renewed every two years.

4. You are officially ready to start scheduling clean-up dates! To start this process, please fill out our pre-clean up form, familiarize yourself with our safety checklist and print a waiver for your group members to sign the day of your cleaning!

5. CLEAN YOUR TRAIL!

6. Awesome work! Now it is time to fill out our post-clean up evaluation form. Let us know how it went and share some photos with us! This is also a great opportunity to upload a photo of your group waiver.
