Adopt a Park program urged as 'eyes and ears' for local parks
Summary
Art Taft promoted the Great Falls Adopt a Park program, asking neighbors to volunteer roughly two hours per month to watch for trash, vandalism and vegetation issues and to 'see something, say something.' Applications were shared.
Art Taft of Neighborhood Council 1 and a member of the Park and Recreation board presented the Great Falls Adopt a Park program to NC3, describing the volunteer role as the "eyes and ears" of the parks and urging nearby residents to monitor trash, infrastructure, vegetation health and vandalism.
Taft said the typical commitment is about two hours per month and that volunteers help keep parks clean and signal problems to the city. He distributed applications for neighbors interested in joining the Adopt a Park team and emphasized community stewardship with the phrase, "see something, say something."
The minutes record the presentation and distribution of applications but do not list specific sign-ups or a timeline for adoption of individual parks.
