Adopt-A-Site
The Adopt-a-Site Program allows you to adopt a greenspace or park area in order to provide additional maintenance to La Crosse’s green spaces. The program encourages businesses, organizations and individuals to commit their time and talents to the care and maintenance of one of the City’s green spaces or parks. Volunteers need to spend 3 pre-arranged days per year on the adopted area. These agreements are not intended to begin new projects, planting, or invasive removal, the goal is to keep them neat, clean, and appealing to park visitors and passersby.

Why Adopt A Site
As budgets fluctuate, the need for green-space maintenance continues to grow. The City is committed to keeping our spaces beautiful. Many small cities all over Wisconsin, and all over the United States have formed volunteer programs for landscape maintenance with great success engaging the community in the continued task of keeping our recreation spaces and our city beautiful. You can help us keep La Crosse Parks looking its best by applying to Adopt-a-Site!
How does it work?
Participation can happen in several ways, such as making a commitment to a specific park space, or other green spaces by removing litter, weeding, or various any other tasks depending on the needs of the site being adopted.
Who is Elligible?
Any group, business, or organization that is capable of visiting the site to clean and do maintenance 3 times between April and end of October. Expectations vary depending on the sitechosen, make sure to reference the site expectations to ensure you are capable of adopting the site.
