Partners for Beautification
Get Involved!
Richmond is known for its natural beauty, parks, trails, and vibrant public spaces. As our city grows, we recognize the importance of environmental stewardship in maintaining our surroundings. That’s why we’re inviting residents, businesses and community groups to get involved in shaping a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Richmond through the Partners for Beautification program.
This program offers a variety of ways to adopt and care for streets, parks, trails, dikes and garden spaces. Whether you're part of a club, school, business, or just an individual who cares, your efforts make a real difference.
Step 1: Identify your Initiative
What do you want to do? Litter clean-up, garden planting, trail maintenance, or something else? Decide what kind of impact you want to make, and let’s get started!
Available Programs
Adopt-A-Street: Help keep Richmond’s boulevards, sidewalks, cul-de-sacs, and/or storefronts clean and tidy. Some streets may be restricted due to safety concerns.
Adopt-A-Park, Trail, or Dike: Support Richmond’s greenspaces and natural areas by removing litter, managing invasive plants and reporting maintenance needs.
Adopt-A-Garden: Improve unused greenspaces, boulevards and other public areas by planting and maintaining gardens. The City provide support with garden plans and materials.
One-Time Clean-Ups: Perfect for individuals, groups and businesses looking to make a one-time environmental impact. The City lends litter kits containing 25 litter pickers and gloves.
Step 2: Select your Spot
Choose a location that suits your initiative - a park, trail, street, portion of the dike, or unused greenspace. Need help choosing? We’re happy to assist!
Step 3: Apply!
Fill out our easy online application form to get started. Let us know your idea, preferred location, and any support you may need.
Step 4: Execute Your Initiative
Once you receive confirmation from our team, go ahead and start your project! The City can support with litter kits, site prep, and guidance.
Step 5: Report Back
We want to hear your progress! Use our online report form to track your efforts, celebrate your successes, and lend support.
Complete four or more reports per year for at least two years, and we’ll recognize your group with signage.
