Volunteer to adopt a stream or greenspace this season with the Bloomington Parks Department

BLOOMINGTON- The adopt programs are two separate programs – Adopt-a-Stream and Adopt-a-Greenspace – that utilize the power of volunteers to help ensure that Bloomington stays safe, clean, and accessible for all.

Volunteers commit to serving a one-year term, from May 2025 to April 2026, at their assigned stream or greenspace. Volunteers can be families, individuals, groups, and everything in between! Parks and Recreation staff works with volunteers to help them choose an area best suited to their skills, interests, and abilities.

A mandatory virtual orientation takes place on Wednesday, March 26, at 5:30 p.m. A Zoom link will be sent to attendees closer to the meeting date. Following that, volunteers meet with the leaders of their chosen program for an on-site training session before beginning their service term.
