Adopt a Spot supports volunteers in upkeep of parks, creeks, shorelines, storm drains, streets, trails, and other public spaces. Volunteers have adopted hundreds of sites around Oakland. Public Works can provide tool loans, debris collection services, and technical assistance. Learn more here.

Oakland Adopt a Drain program seeks volunteers to help keep storm drains clear of debris. Keeping storm drain inlets clear helps maintain water quality and prevent flooding during storms.
