Keep Anna Beautiful

KeepAnnaBeautiful-03

Keep Anna Beautiful is an affiliate program of Keep Texas Beautiful. 

Litter is a significant problem throughout North Texas. In addition to disrupting our views and decreasing our property values, it hurts our native plants and animals.  Keep Anna Beautiful's mission statement is " To inspire and educate the neighbors of Anna to keep our community clean and beautiful."  You can be a vital part of living out that statement. We are actively seeking potential volunteers to help us create a positive impact here in Anna.

Prairie Restoration Garden

The Keep Anna Beautiful crew completed a Prairie Restoration project at Natural Springs Park. An area of the park along the east section of the trail has been designated as a pocket prairie and was seeded with native Texas wildflowers and grasses. Seeds were purchased with a grant awarded by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Educational signs is placed along the walking path to highlight the benefits of Prairie Restoration.

Visit the garden to see native pollinators in action!

For the forth consecutive year, The City of Anna has been designated as a Tree City USA.

Trees are an asset to a community when properly planted and maintained. They help improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.

Texas Arbor Day is celebrated on the first Friday in November each year. Fall is a better time to plant trees in Texas due to the cooler temperatures. The City has celebrated in the past by planting trees at Slayter Creek park and giving out tree saplings. Be on the lookout for how you can join in this year's celebration!
