Keep Mohawk Valley Beautiful (KMVB) is a six-county affiliate of Keep America Beautiful. KMVB hosts annual clean up events and encourages community beautification projects to preserve and protect the natural beauty and health of the Mohawk Valley region.
KMVB is looking for volunteers to participate in a Community Appearance Index.
This is a visual assessment of how much litter is visible in certain areas of our community. Commonly called a “windshield survey,” this survey is designed to be done from the car! You will rank different areas of your community (as many as you’d like) - either Industrial, Retail, Park, School, Library or Residential - on a scale of ‘virtually no litter’ to ‘extremely littered.’
Download our Litter Index Form or email us at info@mvedd.org for more information or to have a copy of the index mailed to you. Then, take your car ride and let us know what you see!
