Beaufort County employees recently celebrated Earth Day 2025 this past Friday by volunteering several hours to help clean up litter and debris at various heavily traveled roadways around Beaufort County.

More than 580 volunteers — representing 24 partner organizations and over 200 Beaufort County employees — worked side by side to pick up litter along 40 miles of roadways, collecting an incredible 9,000 pounds of litter across the Lowcountry.

County Administrator Michael Moore and Keep Beaufort County Beautiful Board Chairman Christopher Campbell and the County's state partner, Esther Wagner, Awareness and Education Coordinator from Palmetto Pride made remarks at the luncheon and ceremony that followed. Volunteers also got a chance to visit at a number of local environmental education booths to learn the impact of litter on Lowcountry wildlife and waterways.

Volunteer opportunities are also available with the Keep Beaufort County Beautiful Board- A Keep America Beautiful Affiliate! The Keep Beaufort County Beautiful (KBCB) Board is dedicated to promoting litter prevention, beautification, and environmental stewardship across our community.
