You Can Help!

Throughout the state, numerous small locations need our attention. It could be a traffic island near your home, a strip of median in front of your place of business, a corner of the entrance to your neighborhood, or the tree path in front of your local school. Each of these spots just needs someone who cares enough to design and install a flower bed, a community group that will take the responsibility to weed and fertilize, a club that will plant and maintain a tree, or a business that will landscape and keep it looking good.

Adopting a spot is easy and fun. We can help design your spot. We will also work with you to ensure the project conforms to the wishes or regulations of your local community. Your group or business can also erect a sign identifying the community-oriented individual, group or business making the world a little bit nicer for everyone who happens by or lives in the area.

Adopters, in turn, agree to assume the responsibility for maintaining the spot for a two-year renewable period. This includes any costs involved with designing, installing or maintaining the spot, also those costs for a sign or its installation.

If you would like to be a part of this innovative way to improve the quality of life in your area, please contact David Coppotelli at 401-222-2411, Extension 4541. We would be delighted to send you more information on this great opportunity.

Together, we can make Rhode Island
Even more beautiful!

You and the DOT - a powerful team for progress.
