Adopt-a-Spot

Preserving and beautifying our community.

*All spots are subject to approval by Keep Pensacola Beautiful, Escambia County, and/or the City of Pensacola.

What place is special to you? The most popular choices are parks, scenic stretches of road, or neighborhood green spaces.

2. Attend Training

Attend our Adopt-A-Spot Orientation for a full overview of the program and its requirements.

3. Clean Your Spot

Get started cleaning your adopted spot and reporting cleanup information to Our Corner!

“Our organization was able to further our community outreach through the Adopt-A-Spot program. Coordinating equipment pick-up and drop-offs is always a breeze. Keep Pensacola Beautiful provides all the tools and equipment you could possibly need. If your organization or business would like to get involved with a Keep Pensacola Beautiful program, I highly recommend Adopt-A-Spot.”
