Keep New Mexico Beautiful began as a grass-roots movement in the 1960s, in response to Lady Bird Johnson’s national movement to beautify our environment, control litter and promote civic pride. In fact, for the first twenty years of KNMB’s history, our mission was carried out purely through the commitment and hard work of volunteers.
Today, KNMB carries out this mission through the hard work and commitment of paid and unpaid human resources. To achieve our mission, and keep New Mexico beautiful we rely on the collaboration and commitment of our:
- Members,
- Volunteers,
- Board of Directors,
- Executive Director,
- Grants Committee, and
- Sponsors and Partners
Below are various ways that you can become involved in KNMB, and support our mission.
