Keep DeSoto County Beautiful
Through a collaborative effort between the DeSoto County Board of Supervisors and the County's municipalities, Keep DeSoto County Beautiful formed as an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful in 2015. By maintaining a community that is aesthetically pleasing, it is an investment in property values, deters crime, sets a good example to all ages, and invites economic investment in this community.
Keep DeSoto County Beautiful has a ten member board that guides the organization in county wide beautification efforts. The board is comprised of members from each of the county's municipalities and all five Supervisor Districts (PDF).
