Parks and Recreation Annual Report 2022

Message from Keep DeSoto Beautiful Board President

Keep DeSoto Beautiful (KDB) Board was appointed in March 1999 by the DeSoto City Council. We are an Affiliate of Keep Texas Beautiful. The last few years has been a struggle due to COVID, we were limited in promoting public interest, finding ways to encourage beautification within our city, soliciting community involvement along with providing education to the significance of recycling and litter. However, we were able to create alternatives like providing residents and Home Owner Associations with tools to clean-up their neighborhoods. We assisted in placing trash bins on the major streets and donated trees. KDB supports a clean, well-kept neighborhood which enhances our community image. The collaborative vision is to build a cohesive community with a common goal of sustaining an attractive community. Everyone in the community can do their part to eliminate litter. Whether on the street, sidewalks, parks, schools and in your own yard. Everybody has a moral responsibility to pick up litter. Let’s get it done! Put garbage where it belongs in the trash!
