Organization Wants to Clean Up Noblesville
By Krista Bocko
The daffodils that have bloomed in previous springs at the corner of S.R. 37 and S.R. 32 were a result of the efforts of committed volunteers of Keep Noblesville Beautiful (KNB), an organization working to improve the community through educational and community action programs.
KNB's daffodil initiative, which began in the fall of 2009, will eventually encompass gateways to the city as well as major thoroughfares. More daffodil plantings should be visible this spring at the gateway at Hamilton Town Center on East 146th St.
KNB has several upcoming events, starting with the Highway 37 Cleanup on April 16, which will focus on the section of S.R. 37 from S.R.32 to 191st St.
On April 29, KNB will celebrate Arbor Day on the southeast side of the Courthouse Square by giving away 400 small Red Oak trees.
The organization's annual Spring Blitz will take place May 21 in the Lincoln Circle area of town. Volunteers will focus on one particular area and provide help for residents by doing whatever landscaping or upkeep work that is needed.
Volunteers or Groups are welcome to help with the Highway 37 Cleanup or the Spring Blitz. KNB also is growing its membership. Dues are $20 annually for an individual or $25 for a family. Visit www.keepnoblesvillebeautiful.org for more information.
