Adopt-a-Spot Program

Our Adopt-a-Spot program offers great opportunities for businesses, neighborhood groups, faith groups and civic organizations who want to have a positive impact on their community. This program helps to enhance community pride by maintaining clean and attractive parks, green spaces, nature trails and roadways for residents and visitors to enjoy.

An adoption is an agreement with the city for a minimum of two years, so make sure your group wants to make a long-term commitment before beginning the adoption process.

If you would like to adopt a park, street or median, please contact Keep Fort Worth Beautiful at KFWB@fortworthtexas.gov or by phone at 817-392-2046 to begin the contract process.

Forestry

No matter your level of expertise, whether you're interested in helping out for a day or wanting a more long-term commitment, the Forestry Section has a volunteer opportunity for you.

Volunteer workdays at the Tree Farm projects can vary by season, but often include transplanting trees into containers; planting in the tree fields; weeding; staking and trying trees; and organizing the tree inventory. Bring your family, friends, co-workers and fellow tree enthusiasts. Rain or shine, we'll be here with something to do for every physical activity level.

What type of projects do we have for volunteers?

Blitz Projects

Purpose

To help reduce and discourage criminal defacement of private and public property and make Fort Worth an even more beautiful community.

Duties

In this very visible role, you’ll attack graffiti by painting over it on structures large and small. Most locations have patchwork that shows were graffiti used to be. For this project you will go over the patchwork, making the wall one cohesive color, which not only beautifies the area but also helps our program if the location ever gets graffiti again.

Time Frame

Typically a 2 to 4 hour shift.

Personal transportation is required to travel to each location.
Must be at least 12 years of age to participate with a supervised group, if you are younger than age 12 you will need one-on-one supervision. Ages 18+ do not need supervision.
