Keep Route 66 Beautiful Resources
-
We're partnering with rural communities along Western Oklahoma's stretch of Route 66 to plant beautiful, native Caddo Sugar Maple Trees in clusters of five. Each grove will help shade travelers, beautify neighborhoods, and create a living tribute to one of America’s most iconic highways.
-
Help us celebrate the 100th anniversary of Route 66 by keeping Oklahoma’s stretch of the Mother Road clean, safe, and beautiful for the next hundred years. Whether it’s a mile, a block, or a whole downtown, every cleanup counts.
-
As part of KOB's Paint Oklahoma Beautiful program, free recycled, eco-friendly paint is available to communities that want to refresh a public structure (community buildings, picnic tables, park benches, main street buildings, etc.).

Keep Route 66 Beautiful is a two-year intensive initiative focusing on Oklahoma's 400+ miles of historic roadway and nearby communities. Keep Route 66 Beautiful runs through December 31, 2026. Working with communities along the Route, we can improve visitor, tourism, and community experiences. Let's work together to keep Oklahoma's stretch of the "Mother Road" clean and green for its 2026 100th anniversary.
