Similar to the Adopt-A-Mile Program, the Alabama Adopt-A-Stream Program is designed to eliminate, control, and maintain litter at stream crossings in Alabama. Each participating group pledges a two-year commitment to clean and maintain a chosen stream crossing. Signs are printed and provided by Alabama PALS, and ALDOT installs them if the chosen stream crossing is on a US or Alabama roadway. If the stream crossing is on a county road, the signs must be erected by the respective county.
There are currently over 250 groups participating in the Alabama Adopt-A-Stream Program. This valuable program assists in cleaning and maintaining our most valuable water resources and is a positive factor in controlling debris in stormwater runoff.
