Adopt-A-Road



The County of Red Deer has a new program this year called adopt a road. We chose to adopt the 2 miles of Cottowood road (4 miles of ditch) in front of our farm from Range road 13 to Range road 15. We then clean the garbage from the ditches a minimum of 3 times a year for a minimum of 3 years. In return the county posts a sign at each end of the section of road. The county would if we asked supply saftey vests, garbage bags and collect the garbage if we requested, but it is just easier to use our own vests, and garbage bags. We then just put the garbage in our own dumpster for disposal after removing the recyclables.

Today they erected our signs at the ends of road so we had to pose for a picture.
