Adopt-a-Storm Drain Program - St. Cloud, MN
Ages: All Girl Scouts
The Adopt-a-Drain program allows individuals or groups to adopt storm drains and keep them clear of sediment, trash, yard waste and debris to help keep our water resources clean. This is a great opportunity for groups or individuals to stay connected to their community, become more educated about water quality, make a difference and work together. The Adopt-a-Drain program allows you to participate on your own schedule.

Why it's important:
Keeping storm drains clean protects waterways from polluted stormwater runoff that flows unfiltered from our streets into local waterways. In addition to trash, road salt, and chemicals, organic debris like leaves and grass clippings also threaten the health of our waterways.

Adopt-a-Storm Drain Program - Superior, WI
The Adopt-a-Stormdrain Program is an effort to restore our area's rivers and lakes by looking upstream to where their water comes from. This program works to clean waterways by keeping the storm drains that feed them free from litter, leaves, and debris. Keeping debris away from the storm drains also reduces the chance of flooding in yards and homes in your neighborhood.
