Mission Statement

Keep Grapevine Beautiful is organized to preserve and enhance the local natural environment by strengthening citizen's levels of commitment through educational programs and engaging volunteer- based projects.

Description

Grapevine, Texas is an award-winning community for many reasons, one of which is for its commitment to being an environmental steward through waterway and park cleanups, recycling household and hazardous waste products, and beautifying the city's parks, streets and facilities. As a result, Grapevine has become a recognized leader in sustainability and beautification efforts on a local, state and national level.

Originally established in 1992, Keep Grapevine Beautiful (KGVB) officially incorporated through the City of Grapevine Parks and Recreation Department in 2005 and is a 501(c)3 charitable corporation. KGVB is the local affiliate for the Keep America Beautiful and Keep Texas Beautiful programs. It is led by a board of directors that includes officers, city liaisons and committee chairs. Program funding comes through the Parks & Recreation Department, donations and corporate sponsorships.

With more than 2,000 dedicated volunteers, we are able to manage major community cleanups such as park and lakeshore litter collection, painting boat docks and buildings, planting flowers and trees, clearing invasive plant species, and numerous other projects.
