How to Adopt-a-Spot
Everyone in Hastings can officially adopt and tend a public space through the Village's Adopt-a-Spot program. Adopting a Spot means keeping your Spot litter-free and tended. You can also install a pollinator garden!
1. Review the Guidelines for an overview of Adopter responsibilities.
2. Select a spot from Our List or suggest your own!
3. Apply! Start your adoption by filling out an Application form.
4. Once OK'd, the Village will provide an Agreement with plan details for you to sign.
