Iowan’s have a strong history of not depending on government. They often ask what can we do to help – one of those ways is to help in keeping public areas clean and attractive through the idea of taking on a certain level of responsibility for cleaning up or making the areas attractive – it is often called “Adoption”. The one adoption program that has a great deal of recognition is the Iowa Department of Transportation highway adoption program. There are many opportunities for individuals, families, organizations or groups to adopt areas. Check out the Iowa Department of Transportion's Adopt A Highway program brochure.
