KSB's 2019 FALL CLEAN UP
Saturday, September 28, 2019 - A big hearted "Thank you" to all of the volunteers that came out last to help KSB make Salado sparkle! It was a great day and mother nature helped us by providing beautiful weather, only to be found in our sweet village of Salado. Volunteers were of all ages and came from as far as Harker Heights. The amount of recyclables and trash have not been weighed as of this posting but our volunteers found some very interesting thing! We awarded Sonic Gift Certificates for the most trash collected and the most unusual trash found. Congratulations to our Boy Scout Cub Pack 1115 for winning in both categories.
Pace Park Clean-Up Project
Pace Park Clean-Up Project:
On June 1, 2019 from 11:00 – 1:00 KSB and Salado volunteers gathered to clean up litter and flood damage in Pace Park following recent storms. 12 volunteers (2 of whom were Scouts) worked for 3 hours each and cleared 20 pounds of trash/debris and 5 pounds of recyclables, and began the process of clearing the swimming area.
Also, the Village crew came in during this time and moved out the trees that had been uprooted during the flooding.
The Village plans include:
Salado's Main Street Historic Green Bridge Improvements:
July 2019 - Salado's Green Bridge Improvements - KSB is collaborating Terra Living and the The Nature Co. of Salado to create a permaculture food forest. This will be the 1st in Bell County!! Follow us on Facebook for details!! #ksbcreekandgardens #terraliving #thenaturecompanyofsalado

- clean an area across from the springs for public use
- apply for a grant to develop trails, improve bathrooms and the pavilion.
