Adopt-A-Stream Program

Streams in Greensboro serve many uses, ranging from carrying stormwater runoff to providing habitat for fish, turtles, birds, and other wildlife.

We appreciate your interest in the City of Greensboro's Adopt-a-Stream program. This program provides families, local business owners, civic groups, neighborhood organizations, youth groups, churches, and academic institutions the opportunity to become involved in an environmental program that helps to protect our natural resources. The objectives of this program are to increase community involvement and awareness of the City's water resources, develop watershed-based environmental education, increase reporting of water quality problems, and improve water quality and stream habitat. By committing to the program, your group or organization agrees to collect litter along your adopted stream twice a year for at least two years.
