Inspiration

Neighborhood
Beautification

We already have a beautiful community but our environment needs our help and a change in how we take care of it.

​

There are endless opportunities to beautify our neighborhood, and we invite you to join us on this mission. Although this inspiration image isn't yet a reality, every change always begins with a vision. We envision transforming dull patches of sidewalks into vibrant oases filled with native and drought-resistant landscaping. This will reconnect us with nature, enhance our walks, and improve stormwater runoff.

​​

Our primary focus is on planting more trees, protecting existing ones with new guards, and enhancing the streetscape.
