CA State Parks Trails Day
Keep California Beautiful supports hundreds of cleanup, recycling, and beautification events throughout the state of California annually. We provide volunteers with trash bags, gloves, flower seeds, participation badges and other volunteer incentives and thank-you's. KCB encourages individuals, civic groups, and community organizations to come together to make a difference in California's environment by organizing events within their community.
Adopt-a-Highway
KCB encourages involvement in Caltrans, Adopt-A-Highway program wherever possible. This highly successful program, saves taxpayers millions of dollars each year by providing an avenue for individuals, organizations, or businesses to help maintain sections of roadside within California's State Highway System.
Participation can include one or more of the following activities.
- Removing litter (work frequency varies with location).
- Planting and establishing trees, or wildflowers.
- Removing graffiti.
- Controlling vegetation.
Adoptions usually span a two-mile stretch of roadside and permits are issued for five-year periods. Groups may apply for additional, five year permits.

KCB works with the California Coastal Commission to support their Coastal Cleanup Day by encouraging their volunteers to get involved in the September statewide beach cleanup. In addition, the California Coastal Commission provided a grant to produce the Sunny Garcia, "Don't Trash California" campaign which included a pledge not to litter post card, posters, movie theatre ads, and magazine ads.
