Welcome to Keep Covington/Newton Beautiful!
Keep Covington/Newton Beautiful (KCNB), an affiliate of Keep Georgia Beautiful and Keep America Beautiful, provides environmental education in our community. KCNB works on various projects focusing on litter prevention, beautification, recycling, and water pollution prevention. KCNB staff and volunteers visit schools with puppet shows and other educational programs, speak at club and organizational meetings, and participate in festivals and expos. KCNB also sponsors cleanups, recycling events, and awareness contests throughout the year. KCNB relies upon government and grant funding, private contributions, and volunteer participation.
Locally, the KCNB Board is made up of 70+ citizens who serve on eight committees. They work with KCNB staff to bring environmental awareness to our community. KCNB's committees are: the Business Committee; the Community Organizations Committee; the Communications Committee; the Government Operations Committee; the Schools and Education Committee; the Recycling Committee; the Fundraiser Committee; and the Finance Committee. The KCNB Executive Board, consisting of the Chairmen of each committee, the Executive Director, Treasurer, Parliamentarian, and Ex-Officio Members, oversees all committee work.
