Trash and litter is easily blown by wind and washed down storm drains into our Trash and litter is easily blown by wind and washed down storm drains into our waterways. Through our Adopt-A-Stream program volunteers will monitor their adopted stream and organize a community cleanup twice a year to help us keep track of the litter in our watershed. The data collected by volunteers will be shared with local jurisdictions and will help support proven source reduction policies (bag fees, foam bans, etc.)
The Alice Ferguson Foundation is not currently assisting with Adopt-A-Stream programs. If you are interested in learning more about adopting a stream in your area please contact:
