We are so excited to see this out in the world! 🌿 Keep Oklahoma Beautiful had the privilege of welcoming Dr. Priscilla Crawford to our April workshop, and her expertise on Oklahoma's incredible natural diversity left our whole group inspired.

Our office will be closed this Memorial Day to honor the brave men and women whose dedication and sacrifice allow us to enjoy the beauty of this state and the communities we call home. We'll be back Tuesday, but in the meantime we are wishing everyone a meaningful and restful holiday. 🌿

What a morning at Lake Arcadia! 💚 Together with our KOB staff, board members, and an incredible group of volunteers from Ernst & Young, we cleaned up 44 bags of trash and a crate of sharps from a beloved lake. That is no small thing — and it would not have been possible without every single person who showed up and got to work. Thank you for loving Oklahoma as much as we do. 🌿

Happy Earth Day, Oklahoma! 🌍

Did you know Oklahoma is one of only four states with more than 10 unique ecoregions? An ecoregion is a distinct area of land or water characterized by shared environmental conditions, like climate, geography, soils, and natural vegetation. From the High Plains of the Panhandle to the cypress swamps of the South-Central Pine Plains, from the tallgrass prairies to the Ouachita Mountains, from the Ozark Highlands to the Cross Timbers, Oklahoma holds more ecological diversity per mile than any other state in the country! Today, and every day, Keep Oklahoma Beautiful tries to honor all of this diverse beauty.
