Adopt A Spot
Make a positive impact —one Spot at a time!
Whether you're looking to make an impact as an individual, school, business, or community group, get involved and help make your local area cleaner and greener. With over 1,100 "Spots" revitalised and 20,000 volunteers engaged, the Adopt A Spot project encourages environmental pride in your local area through taking action. Whether it’s picking up litter, planting wildflowers, or transforming spaces into community food gardens, every effort makes a difference.
Getting started is easy: choose and register your Spot, plan your activities, and log your progress. Make a real impact—one Spot at a time!
How to Get Involved
Choose Your Spot: Select a spot you’re passionate about, such as a littered stretch of beach, an unkempt alley, or simply your neighbourhood street. Make sure the area is safe and that you have permission to access it.
Plan Your Activities: Decide what activities you wish to undertake in your Spot. You could plant for pollinators, create wildlife habitats, grow food for the community, or organise a clean-up.
Register: Create an account on Submittable and sign-up to Adopt A Spot here. By signing up, you agree to maintain your Spot and follow our Clean-Up Safety Guidelines.
Log Your Progress: Track your progress by completing the 'Litter Log' and the annual 'Impact Survey' on Submittable. This allows us to monitor your efforts and determine any additional support your Spot might need.
We’d also love to see your impact—why not share some before-and-after pictures of your Spot? Feel free to email them to us here.
