Program Details

Adoption is for 1 year and must be renewed prior to the expiration date. Participating groups will be required to complete a minimum of two improvement projects per year. All projects must be reviewed by Adopt-a-Creek staff to ensure feasibility. Currently projects may include trash pickup and invasive plant removal. However, if more complex projects such as tree planting or creek restoration are proposed, additional review and oversight by City Staff or other state and federal agencies may be required. Adopting parties must give notice to the Adopt-a-Creek program a minimum of 10 days prior to commencement of work.

We look forward to working with your organization to improve Roseville creeks and open space. We hope this experience will be meaningful to you and your membership. The City certainly appreciates your involvement and commitment to our creeks.
