Hillsborough Beautification Foundation (HBF), founded in 1998, is dedicated to its mission statement “Enhancing the beauty of our public landscape, encouraging community engagement and civic pride.” HBF is a non-profit volunteer association, which does the work of a Parks Department without support of tax dollars. 

HBF develops, beautifies and preserves more than 145 sites in our town, including all of our schools, islands, parks and public spaces. THIS IS AN INVALUABLE SERVICE TO THE TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH, WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A PARKS DEPARTMENT TO DO THIS WORK.  Each year, 100% of tax-deductible donations received from our generous community go directly to new projects and to fund preservation of all completed projects. 

A truly working Board of Trustees with broad levels of expertise (and no Executive Director) oversees the hands-on Development, Projects, and Communications Committees, and provides support for HBF’s Harvest Garden.

HBF has been and continues to be instrumental in upgrading the beauty and functionality of our Town’s public outdoor spaces.
