Overview
Mission
Keep America Beautiful Affiliate. Community beautification and clean-up efforts are the primary mission.
What it reported doing in 2024
Tree Planting and Landscape Projects: Includes two components. First, an annual tree planting ("Community Roots Day") in one or more neighborhoods using community volunteers. In FY 224-25, 120 trees were planted in public rights-of-way, specifically in areas of the city that were classified as underserved and lacked a poor tree canopy. Additionally, 200 more trees were given out to neighborhood groups during educational sessions regarding the importance of trees and environmental stewardship. Second, a cooperative effort with neighborhood organizations and the Winston-Salem Foundation to establish and maintain landscape planting areas in public rights-of-way at key neighborhood locations. For FY 24-25, these locations included County Club Rd, Buena Vista, Rupert Bell, Minnie Lee David Harris, Miller Park (and others), neighborhood entrances, Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools, and city fairgrounds.
