Adoptions

 

Our Adoption Program is a partnership between Keep Pinellas Beautiful (KPB), Pinellas County and local residents. This program is a great opportunity for individuals, groups and corporations to give back to their communities in a highly visible way. Through this free program, participants will adopt an area of Pinellas County and receive the training and materials necessary to host their own cleanups. Adoptions greatly enhance the appearance of our communities and go a long way in reducing litter and debris from entering our waterways and polluting the natural habitats of our native wildlife.

Thank you to our Adoption Program Sponsors: Pinellas County and ExtremeTerrain’s Clean Trail Grant Program.
