Every year, the Old Oak Cliff Conservation League gives out thousands of dollars to go to neighborhoods for a variety of different projects, from promoting a neighborhood’s identity with sign toppers to beautification projects, such as creating pocket parks or enhancing a median strip, or helping a neighborhood provide security such as security cameras.  Whatever your neighborhood project is, the League can help.  Neighborhoods are the fabric of our community and however we can help that neighborhood, will help to make all of Oak Cliff a better place to live.
