Loudoun County resident Agnes Harrison headed efforts to fight the county's litter problem in the late 1960s. She founded
Keep Loudoun Beautiful (KLB), as a volunteer organization to help combat litter and reduce pollution; it incorporated 30 March
1972. In a dramatic gesture, Harrison and other early leaders expressed their concern to county officials by gathering roadside
trash and depositing it on the Board of Supervisor's conference room floor.
At present, KLB's mission includes maintaining the county's natural beauty, promoting public awareness of environmental issues,
improving trash disposal and eliminating illegal dumping. Among other activities, KLB coordinates a yearly "Spring Cleanup"
program to organize volunteers to pick up trash along roads, waterways, and other public areas in the county.
The collection contains the records of Keep Loudoun Beautiful. It includes minutes, correspondence, newspaper articles, projects,
photographs, and scrapbooks from 1969-2006. Images are individually catalogued in PastPerfect, Thomas Balch Library's visual
