If you thought we were done with our #GeorgiaArborDay celebrations - think again! 🌳

Students at @brucebulldogs received a special surprise just in time for the occasion. Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful teamed up with @ga_power and Macon-Bibb Parks & Beautification to deliver over 400 tree seedlings! 🌱 Thanks to Randell Hunt, Distribution Utility Arborist with Georgia Power, for providing the seedlings, as well as Evergreen Landscaping for donating planting pots and Minton’s Lawn & Garden for the planting soil. The students will get their hands dirty and plant the seedlings during their Agricultural class, helping to grow a greener future! 🌍💚

🌳 Celebrating Georgia Arbor Day! 🌳 This is the first of many posts celebrating Georgia Arbor Day, and we can’t wait to share the ways we’re honoring our trees! 🌿🌎

#GeorgiaArborDay is observed every year on the third Friday in February. While National Arbor Day takes place in April, states like Georgia celebrate earlier due to climate and optimal planting conditions. February is the perfect time to plant trees in our state!

Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful kicked off our Georgia Arbor Day celebration with the third graders at Alexander II Magnet School! The students joined local arborist Edward Morrow for a Walking With Trees Tour, where they learned things like how to measure a tree’s critical root zone, the importance of pruning, and how angles play a role in tree work for safety. They also took part in a tree planting demonstration led by Macon-Bibb County’s Director of Parks & Beautification and Arborist Michael Glisson.

To top it off, each student received their very own tree seedling, thanks to the Georgia Forestry Commission & Georgia Power! 🌱💚

Stay tuned for more Georgia Arbor Day celebrations coming your way! #GeorgiaArborDay #KeepMaconBibbBeautiful #PlantTrees #lovewhereyoulive

Keep America Beautiful Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation Macon+Bibb County Wesleyan College - First For Women

Our Executive Director, Asha Ellen, and KMBB Board

Our Executive Director, Asha Ellen, and KMBB Board Chair, Natasha Christian, attended the @keepamericabeautiful National Conference in Washington, D.C., from February 10-13. This year’s theme, Together Is Beautiful, highlighted the power of collaboration in creating a cleaner, more sustainable future.

As part of the conference, KMBB participated in a panel discussion on the impact of the Keep America Beautiful Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Improvement Grant. KMBB is a two-time recipient of this grant, which has helped bring meaningful improvements to Macon:
🌱 In 2023, funds were used to plant trees along Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd in the Greenwood Bottom Neighborhood, from Oglethorpe St. to Hazel St.
🎨 In 2024, the grant supported the commissioning of a mural honoring Dr. King at 1410 Dr. MLK, Jr. Blvd.

Another key moment of the conference was Day on the Hill, where KMBB joined Keep America Beautiful affiliates from across the country to meet with legislators. These meetings focused on advancing KAB’s mission and discussing plans for the Great American Cleanup.

A huge thank you to Keep America Beautiful for bringing together communities and leaders to drive meaningful change. Until next year! 💙♻️
