To the editor:
We all want to keep our community looking attractive. It is especially important in our beautiful county when thousands of tourists flock to our rolling hills every year and our economy is dependent on tourism for its livelihood.
Keep Brown County Beautiful is a group of environmentally minded citizens that believe people and places are profoundly interconnected. We believe that positive change happens when volunteers work together toward that change.
Mark your calendar and join us at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 21 for the Great American Clean Up! We will have two cleanup locations: McDonald’s in Nashville and the shelterhouse at the Brown County Community Church in Helmsburg. Free coffee and breakfast will be provided! We will have gloves, grabbers, vests and trash bags for you to use.
As an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, we work with businesses, groups, residents and others to educate and work toward more recycling and less litter on our roads and streets and along our creeks. Our goal is to work for a positive change with a lasting impact on Brown County. Our projects will focus on reducing litter, recycling, beautification and education. Our objective is to improve the quality of life for all who visit and live here.
Please RSVP by emailing [email protected]. For more information, call 812-988-0140 or 812-327-9617.
Allison Shoaf, district manager, Brown County Soil & Water Conservation District
