Adopt-A-Highway Program

The California Department of Transportation strives to collaborate with California’s citizens to provide motorists with clean and beautiful roadsides.  The Adopt-A-Highway Program exists to provide the public with an avenue to donate services for maintenance and beautification activities on sections of roadside within California’s State Highway System.

Adoption types include litter removal, supplemental litter removal, graffiti removal, vegetation control, tree and shrub planting, wildflower planting, and spot wildflower planting. 

For more information on how you can help, please contact Saedra Wederbrook, District 2 Adopt-A-Highway Coordinator, serving Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity Counties:
