INDIANA– The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is inviting Indiana anglers, boaters, and paddlers to contribute to cleaner waterways and quality public access sites by joining the Adopt-A-Ramp volunteer program. This initiative offers a meaningful and flexible opportunity for individuals, families, and groups to give back to their community and environment.


Volunteers in the Adopt-A-Ramp program undertake various tasks essential for maintaining Indiana’s public access sites. These duties can include collecting trash and discarded fishing line, reporting maintenance needs, or addressing other site-specific issues. With over 400 public access sites across Indiana, there are numerous opportunities for volunteers to find a convenient location to make a positive impact.
Participants in the program commit for one year at a time, with the option to renew their commitment annually. Those interested in becoming an Adopt-A-Ramp volunteer can do so by visiting the DFW Volunteer webpage, creating a volunteer account, and signing up.
