Hi Visitor,
We look back on the first project that KNB conducted in 2007—a clean-up of Highway 37 by Noblesville High School students—to today with over 55 projects completed by almost 800 volunteers.
Local businesses, government agencies and volunteer organizations have helped us accomplish amazing things over the last ten years. Neighborhood Blitzes have reached over 250 homeowners throughout the city and parks, sidewalks and public spaces within these neighborhoods have been refurbished. During many of these blitzes old tires and metal scraps were removed from backyards and recycled.
The Adopt a Highway program has collected 664 bags of trash since we began our official adoption of a two mile stretch of Highway 37. You might wonder where all this trash comes from. It is both thrown out of cars intentionally and fallen from vehicles accidently. We remain committed to keeping this city thoroughfare clean with these regular clean-ups. Credit must also be given to the Hamilton County Probation group for assisting with volunteers for this program.
In partnership with Kroger of Noblesville and Abibow Recycling, 400,000 pounds of paper have been recycled with funds returned to our organization. Thanks to John Elliott, a founding member of KNB, and Kroger on Logan Street for their generous support of this program over the last ten years.
We can’t forget the thousands of daffodils that have greeted visitors and citizens to our city each spring. In addition to these fall bulb plantings at our city’s gateways, we have refurbished the Post Office front entrance in partnership with Kahlo, updated the landscape to the Belfry Theatre during their 50th Anniversary celebration and added pine and shade trees to the playground at Noble Crossing Elementary in partnership with their PTO.
Arbor Day celebrations have seen KNB on the city square and at Forest Park handing out tree saplings along with the Noblesville Tree Board and Hamilton County Master Gardener Association.
