Welcome
A concerted effort started in 2006 to launch a regional Keep America
Beautiful affiliate in Southwest Virginia. Under the leadership of
Carol Doss, who had managed a KAB affiliate in Wise for 16 years, a
team of litter control coordinators and officers worked with Sue Smith
of KAB to turn this dream into a reality. Keep Southwest Virginia
Beautiful received official KAB certification April 21, 2007. Since
then, KSVB has won both state and national awards for litter prevention
efforts.
The mission of KSVB: To engage individuals in
Southwest Virginia to take greater responsibility for improving their
community environment.
KSVB includes the cities of Norton and Bristol and the counties of Lee,
Wise, Scott, Washington, Smyth, Tazewell, Russell, Dickenson and
Buchanan. The affiliate covers 4,255 square miles. This is the largest
regional affiliate in the U.S.
