The Adopt-A-Plot program, coordinated through the Office of Student Life,  is a NAU campus service program providing clubs/organizations and staff the opportunity to perform a service for the NAU community. The purpose is to work in the litter control and beautification of the campus while promoting university-wide pride and awareness in maintaining the campus.

Given the large number of clubs/organizations and staff on campus and the high level of interest in volunteering for such a program, we have set a goal of getting all areas covered by clubs and organizations.  Recognition for involvement in the program will come in the form of signs on campus exhibiting the names of the groups cleaning that specific area.

The groups involved are asked to pick up trash in their respective area. The project guidelines call for the groups to clean their areas every other week (twice a month) and prior to major events on campus (i.e. Homecoming, Parent's Day).  Also, those involved in the program are asked to promote campus pride by making an extra effort not to litter and to pick up trash as they move about the campus on a daily basis. Trash bags and gloves are supplied for the groups at the Office of Student Life.
