Adopt-A-Trail

Purpose:
To involve businesses and residents in the maintenance, enhancement, expansion and proper use of the existing 30+ miles of Vernon's™ trail system. This will allow us to increase the existing educational opportunities and enrich the quality of experiencing nature in our own back yard.

Sponsors:
A business or resident would donate $200 annually, either in tax deductible cash or in-kind materials, as the Sponsor of a trail section. Donations would be used for all aspects of the program including but not limited to administration and volunteer reward, as well as the costs associated with the actual trail work. As a Sponsor you would select a trail section or, if you wish, we would assign one for you. A sign posted on that segment would identify your participation in the Adopt-A-Trail Program.

Vernon Greenways Volunteers:
The trail work would be done by the members of our resident volunteer program. Volunteers would select one of three participation levels: Trail Manager (overall responsibility for a segment of the trail and/or supervision, education and technical expertise for projects), Trail Worker (work force for trail projects) and Greenways Monitor (identify and report problem areas for correction and participate in low impact projects). If you wish to learn more or participate, please contact Don Bellingham at 872-6061 or e-mail him at BellinghamDL@Netzero.com.
