KLB, Local Realtors salute yards of the quarter winners
Yard winners

As a Keep America Beautiful affiliate since 1983, Keep Liberty Beautiful is a community education, volunteer action program focusing on Ending Litter, Increasing Recycling and Waste Reduction, Beautifying our Community, and Stormwater Pollution and Water Conservation Education. 

Our aim is to inspire community leaders, civic and business leaders and local citizens to create a vibrant community that is attractive, clean, and green. We want Liberty County citizens to be enthusiastic about the appearance and health of their environment.  

In the spirit of community improvement and beautification which are important programming areas for Keep Liberty Beautiful, we have partnered with the Hinesville Area Board of Realtors to recognize attractive yards.  Each quarter a realtor will recommend a yard and that homeowner will receive a Yard Of The Quarter sign to display for the quarter, a $25.00 gift card, a Keep Liberty Beautiful Bag filled with goodies, and a Yard Of The Quarter Certificate.  

The 1st Quarter Yard of the Quarter winner was:  Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson! We would also like to thank Kathy Villafane, a Real Estate agent with A Plus Realty Group for helping us in selecting that quarter’s winner!

The 2nd Quarter Yard of the Quarter winner is:  Congratulations to Ms. Vicki Wilkins! We would also like to thank Skyler Wingate, a Real Estate agent from Coldwell Banker Holtzman Realtors for helping us in selecting this quarter’s winner!

Keep Liberty Beautiful embraces the goal of Keep America Beautiful: To engage individuals in taking greater responsibility for improving their community environments.
