Adopt-a-Spot Program
Keep Lake Dallas Beautiful (KLDB) is a proud affiliate of Keep Texas Beautiful, an organization with a mission to educate and engage Texans to take responsibility for improving their community environment through programming and education addressing 3 focus areas including:
- Beautification
- Litter abatement
- Waste reduction
The Adopt-a-Spot Program is part of Keep Lake Dallas Beautiful. It's a
program focused on both litter abatement and beautification. Families,
along with service and civic organizations, have adopted parks and
stretches of roadway throughout the city accepting the goal to keep
those areas beautiful and free of litter.
