Keep Kennedale Beautiful Recognized as Gold Star Affiliate by Keep Texas Beautiful

Honored for Exceptional Community Improvement Efforts

Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB), a statewide grassroots environmental and community improvement non-profit organization, has recently named Keep Kennedale Beautiful a Gold Star Affiliate. 

Gold Star recognition is the membership recognition. It is the highest status any community affiliate can achieve.

“Keep Texas Beautiful affiliates are the backbone of our organization. We are proud to honor those going above and beyond to keep their communities clean and beautiful,” says Suzanne Kho, Executive Director of Keep Texas Beautiful. 

“Our Gold Star Affiliates are educating and engaging community members, actively recruiting and managing volunteers, hosting cleanup and beautification events throughout their community, and so much more.”

In 2024, KTB affiliates engaged over 60,000 volunteers who contributed to collecting 1million pounds of waste and recyclables from Texas roadways, trails, and waterways. Keep Kennedale Beautiful played a key role in this effort, implementing programs that reduce litter, promote recycling, and enhance the local environment. 

Affiliates that reach Gold Star status have demonstrated organizational aptitude and have robust community support. To achieve Gold Star status, affiliates share their mission and goals, answer questions about their economic development and diversity and inclusion practices, or participate in the Beautify Texas Awards or Governor’s Community Achievement Awards programs. They also provide a letter of support from their community. KTB will formally recognize Gold Star communities during the KTB Conference in June.

Purpose and Responsibilities

KKB engages residents and businesses to take greater responsibility for improving the community’s appearance and environment; and develop beautification events, programming, and outreach. The membership of KKB also serves as the Tree Advisory Board and the Tree City USA liaison.

KKB, unlike other advisory boards, allows for membership (of up to three seats) by those who are not residents of the City of Kennedale, but must live within the Kennedale School District

KTB Affiliate

Keep Texas Beautiful’s (KTB) mission is to educate and engage Texans to take responsibility for improving their community environment. Efforts are focused in three major areas: litter prevention, beautification, and waste reduction.

Keep Kennedale Beautiful (KKB) is a volunteer organization with a very active board (apply). If you’d like to be notified of upcoming volunteer efforts, please email staff .

Butterfly Garden Locations

Through the National Wildlife Federation's (NWF) Mayors' Monarch Pledge, cities are committing to create habitats and educate citizens about how they can help preserve these butterflies. KKB and our Mayor are proud participants in the NWF Mayor's Monarch Pledge, which included issuing vouchers to residents to purchase milkweed and other nectar-producing plants. Thank you to Stegall's Nursery for their generous support of this program, which resulted in 29 butterfly gardens in the City of Kennedale!
