Keep Nelson Beautiful

Nelson County is a rural county with strong traditions in the past
and optimistic visions for the future.  Trash, waste and litter are
inevitable side effects of our lives, but how we handle these and what
we do to minimize them says much about our county.

Keep Nelson Beautiful is a small group of volunteers appointed by
the Board of Supervisors.   They provide the community with the
information and inspiration to maximize recycling and minimize waste.
They also provide opportunitties for individuals and groups to
participate in anti-litter campaigns.  Current members are Gail Roussos, Chairperson, Paulette Albright, Secretary, Anne Buteau, Jane Davis, Susan McSwain, Roger Nelson, and Bruce Vlk.  allen Hale is the Board of Supervisors liaison.

The Mission Statement of Keep Nelson Beautiful is:

To protect the environment of Nelson County through the principles of waste reduction, reuse of resources and recycling;

To perserve and maintain the scenic beauty of Nelson County by addressing litter and dumping;
To
encourage citizen responsibility for the efficient use of natural
resources and to strengthen civic pride in the beautification of the
county.
