Keep Eureka Beautiful Fund

An all-volunteer group, Keep Eureka Beautiful was founded in 1996. It promotes beautification as an essential building block in preventing crime, calming traffic and promoting economic development. Its mission is to educate the community about the importance of beautification and to motivate individuals to take personal responsibility for making Eureka a more livable city. In 2006, a gift of $50,000 from the Arkley family allowed Keep Eureka Beautiful to launch a street tree program. With ongoing support from private donors and the Christine and Jalmer Berg Foundation, it has planted over 1,200 street and front yard trees over the years. (2006)
