About our Programs
Rose Award
The Fairfield Beautification Commission has established the Rose Award to recognize Fairfield city residents who have improved or maintained their yard, dwelling or business and created a positive aesthetic appeal. The award is intended to inspire others to take pride in their property and to improve the overall quality of life in Fairfield.
FBC members will act as judges to select the winner of the Rose Award. The final decision will be based on evidence of the contribution to Fairfield's community appeal.
Winners of the award will receive a sign to display in their yard or window as well as a Rose Award certificate signed by our mayor.
Plogging
Plogging in Central Park – Clean, Green, and Active!
🌎 Join the Movement – Beautify Downtown Fairfield While You Move! 🏃♂️🌿
Fairfield’s Central Park is the heart of our downtown, and now, we’re calling on business owners, residents, and community members to take action and keep it clean, green, and thriving! Introducing
Plogging in Central Park—a fun, active, and eco-friendly way to give back while getting a little exercise.
What is Plogging?
A global trend with a local impact, plogging combines jogging (or walking!) with litter cleanup—but we’re taking it even further by also:
🗑 Picking up trash – Let’s keep our park and streets pristine!
🍂 Leaf vacuuming – Clearing debris to keep downtown looking fresh.
🌱 Non-toxic weed killing – Using safe, eco-friendly methods to maintain our sidewalks.
Why Plog?
✅ Boost Community Pride – A clean and well-maintained downtown benefits businesses, visitors, and residents alike.
✅ Get Active, Feel Good! – Burn calories while making a visible difference in your own neighborhood.
✅ Protect Our Environment – Keeping litter and harmful chemicals out of our ecosystem means a healthier Fairfield for all.
✅ Support Local Businesses – A cleaner, more inviting downtown attracts more customers and visitors!
How to Get Involved
📅 See our website for the bi-monthly plogging schedule on the Events page—join us for one hour of action-packed cleanup!
💪 All fitness levels welcome—walk, jog, or just lend a hand!
♻ Supplies provided—gloves, trash bags, leaf vacuum and eco-friendly weed treatments!
🌟 Let’s make Fairfield sparkle, one step at a time! Grab your sneakers, bring a friend, and let’s plog for a cleaner, greener Central Park!
