Getting Started

Greetings, Walton County Citizens!

Lately, we've heard the importance of promotion through social media and other online resources.  Our society is so technologically motivated and social media is a great way to express ideas, facts, and insights to those around us.  Thus, we've decided to jump on the band wagon and take advantage of this very powerful tool.  We hope that you'll use these tools to stay tuned with the happenings of Keep Walton Beautiful, learn interesting and important facts, and share with your friends and family.

To get started, I'd like to take a minute to introduce you to Keep Walton Beautiful, Inc. (KWB).   KWB was organized in 1972 under the auspices of Keep America Beautiful, Inc. (KAB) and in conjunction with Keep Georgia Beautiful, Inc. (KGB).  Governed by a local Board of Directors, KWB operates through grants, private and charitable contributions, in addition to funding and support from the Walton County Board of Commissioners.  KWB depends of a variety of volunteers, organizations, schools and businesses throughout Walton County for assistance with several programs contributing to environmental education year round.  Our program focuses on changing citizen's attitudes and behaviors toward littering and waste management and depends on community involvement of programs for recycling, conservation, beautification, and environmental education to ensure our planet's healthy future.

Mission Statement: Keep Walton Beautiful, Inc. is a non-profit organization that seeks to make Walton County, Georgia a cleaner and more sustainable community through education, public/private partnerships and volunteer support.
