Keep Loudoun Beautiful began in 1972 when a
group of concerned citizens took the county's litter
problem into their own hands. Agnes Harrison and
other early leaders made their point by collecting
roadside trash and depositing it on the floor of the
Board of Supervisors' conference room.
Since that dramatic move, Keep Loudoun Beautiful
has been at the forefront of efforts to institute and
enforce pollution control measures and preserve
Loudoun's beauty. Today's KLB leaders work
hand-in-hand with a host of communtiy and
government organizations to keep the county's
environment healthy and attractive.
You can help shape the future of our environment,
for yourself and for generations to come. Keep
Loudoun Beautiful offers you the chance to dig in
and put your hands - and resources - to work.
How Did KaLeB the Goat Become Our Mascot?
KaLeB was the brainchild of Sue Kane of Purcellville
and Nan Shay of Leesburg, and he was brought to
life in 1982 by Jane Thompson of Woolcrafters on
King Street in Leesburg. KaLeB, a gleeful goat with
a healthy appetite, was perfectly willing to consume
all the litter on the roadsides and public places in
Loudoun, but found that he couldn't do it alone! Our
organization adopted KaLeB as a symbol of KLB's
willingness and need. With your help, we CAN keep
Loudoun beautiful... Loudoun's Beauty is in Your
Hands.
Loudoun County's beauty is not simply
in the eye of the beholder...
It's in our hands as well.
KLB has been around since 1972. .
