Adopt A Highway

The Adopt a Highway program, developed in 1996, compliments and adds to the existing Annual Spring Roadside Clean-up. These programs are joint efforts of the Canadian Forestry Association of New Brunswick, the Department of Transportation, Maritime Road Development Corporation (MRDC), Brun-Way and groups of volunteers who work together to keep our province roadsides clean and beautiful.

Through the Adopt a Highway Program, interested groups take on a three-year commitment to clean-up roadsides along designated stretches of provincial highway. Official highway signs are posted to give public recognition to the adopting group for its contribution to the province's cleanliness.

The Canadian Forestry Association of New Brunswick (CFANB), a Fredericton-based environmental organization manages the Adopt-a-Highway program in partnership with the Department of Transportation.

The Department of Transportation supplies participating groups with safety information, garbage bags, caps for roadside workers, and temporary warning signs.

Groups can adopt sections of highway that are no less than five kilometers long in rural areas and three kilometers in urban areas. Groups are asked to schedule two litter cleanups per year, in the spring and in the fall.

Adopt a Highway program details and application forms can be obtained by contacting The Canadian Forestry Association of New Brunswick at (506) 452-1339, toll-free at 1-866-405-7000, info@cfanb.ca, or through your local Department of Transportation District office.
