Keeping Santa Rosa Beautiful

Founded in 1984 as Milton Clean & Green, the organization rebranded multiple times—becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1995, and later the Santa Rosa Clean Community System, Inc.
Over the decades, KSRB has expanded its mission from litter cleanup to broader conservation and community beautification efforts across Santa Rosa County.

The Butterfly House was brought under the KSRB organizational umbrella around 2018–2019 as part of their nature and education outreach extension, operating as a KSRB-managed program .
In July 2021, KSRB's executive board removed the Butterfly House’s independent volunteer committee and redirected leadership to align more closely with KSRB’s mission objectives

Today, the Panhandle Butterfly House & Nature Center functions as a key program of KSRB, staffed by volunteers and funded through donations.
It complements KSRB’s goals by offering educational events (like the “Pollination Celebration”), conservation programming, school tours, and habitat restoration projects
