About
Keep Northeast Nebraska Beautiful
Keep Northeast Nebraska Beautiful,
an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, strives to empower individuals to take
greater responsibility for enhancing their community environment. This is
achieved by addressing issues that relate to those physical and visual aspects
of the community environment that individuals can personally and directly impact
through their actions. Keep America Beautiful’s educational activities are
focused on: 1) litter prevention, 2) beautification and community improvement,
and 3) minimization of the impact of waste on communities.
If your community has not yet
become a member of KNNB or your community is a member and would like help with
any of the above activities, please contact Donna Christiansen, Coordinator. We
are also looking for more Board Members. The KNNB Board Members meet every
other month starting in January and they assist in planning KNNB activities.
Please give Donna a call at
