Community Cleanup

On August 8th, a small team of Buellton residents dedicated their Saturday morning to sprucing up the Avenue of Flags. Headed by Buellton’s Green Team, the community cleanup initiative received a small amount of funds from the Buellton City Council to get off the ground. With the go ahead from property owners and tenants, volunteers worked hard to weed and pick up trash while still staying safe and following health orders. Even in the midst of COVID-19 restrictions, a successful community event took place that improved the appearance of the downtown, and helped to build community pride on a number of levels. A few businesses even got the beautification spirit themselves, doing cleanup and landscaping on their own. Volunteers are already looking forward to participating in future cleanup events, as the list of potential cleanup projects continues to grow.  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer you can email us at planning@cityofbuellton.com.
