Volunteer with Tucson
Clean & Beautiful
Date: ongoing
The Tucson Clean & Beautiful Adopt-a-Park program was
established in 1985 as a program to combat the growing
problem of litter in parks and other public areas. Through
this program, McCormick Park and another 100 park sites
throughout the Tucson metro area are available now for
adoption by community organizations including Girl Scout
troops. Troops
may volunteer to adopt their neighborhood park by picking up
litter and reporting any maintenance needs such as vandalism
to help keep the park
a clean and safe place to visit. Volunteer groups can plan a
one-time litter cleanup project, or if they agree to clean
up a public area as an ongoing project, they can receive
official Adopt-a-Park recognition
including a sign at the adopted site and an Adopt-a-Park
ceremony. Troops can also incorporate this program into
their Earth, Ecology, or Environment merit badges, and many
other projects and badge awards are appropriate to projects
that can be done at community parks.
If your Girl Scout troop would be interested in the
Adopt-a-Park program, please call B.J. Cordova at Tucson
Clean & Beautiful (520-791-3109) or visit
