The Nebraska State RC&D Association Announces its 2011 Annual Awards
Top Project Award – Keep Loup Basin Beautiful, Loup Basin RC&D, Ord, Nebraska: Keep Loup Basin Beautiful is a project dedicated to promotion of environmental education and projects that lead to litter prevention and reduction, recycling and beautification within nine counties. To accomplish these goals, we use education and special projects. We presented to 970 students in 30 different school or youth groups, and to 13 adult groups with 268 present. 214 volunteers worked 433 hours for these presentations. This project will be showcased at the Western RC&D Conference and submitted to the National RC&D Association.
