Message From: Christy Waddell, State Adopt-A-Mile Coordinator

As we move through another summer season, the Adopt-A-Mile and Adopt-A-Stream programs continue to make a positive impact across Alabama. Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, countless miles of roadways and streams are being kept cleaner, safer, and more beautiful for everyone to enjoy. Each cleanup effort, no matter the size, helps protect our environment, preserve wildlife habitats, and showcase the pride we have in our communities.

While we celebrate the success of our current volunteers, there are still many roads and streams waiting for someone to make them their own. Whether you are an individual, family, business, church, school, or civic organization, your involvement can make a lasting difference. We also encourage our existing participants to share photos and stories from their cleanups so we can highlight your efforts and inspire others to get involved.

Thank you to all our volunteers for your continued commitment to keeping Alabama clean and beautiful. Together, we are creating a stronger, cleaner future—one mile and one stream at a time.
