Keep Abilene Beautiful has been a driving force in the Abilene community over the years in adding over 20,000 crepe myrtles across town, planting 1,000's of trees, working on conservation and revitalization projects. This organization has also been the award winners of over $500,000 that have resulted in 5 medallions and 3 large welcome portals to the city via main highways and interstates. Then they work throughout the year hosting Spring and Fall Cleaning events, growing their adopt-a-spot groups that are handling over 26 city street miles and 6 creek bank miles to keep clean. They currently have 14 registered neighborhood associations that they collaborate with to maintain clean neighborhood projects throughout the year. This group truly understands that Keep Abilene Beautiful is about the health and wellness of the community beyond nice yards, clean parks and litter control. They play an integral part in this whole process.
