(KLCB) is a local organization dedicated to keeping Luna County clean, welcoming, and environmentally healthy through litter prevention, community cleanups, and public beautification efforts. Our work focuses on creating lasting improvements to the places we all share (like roadsides, parks, neighborhoods, and community spaces) while promoting simple, sustainable habits that make a real difference over time.

This grant season, the KLCB volunteers have helped remove more than 5,800 pounds of trash from across Luna County, supporting cleaner public areas and a stronger sense of community pride. In addition to cleanup efforts, KLCB also celebrates sustainability through creative programs like the annual Recycled Art Show, which highlights how everyday materials can be reused and reimagined. Together, these projects reflect our commitment to building a cleaner, more beautiful Luna County for everyone.

We had a great event on February 7, 2026, from 8 am-12 pm! There were 39 volunteers, and the group showed great interest in doing it again. They said they loved the immediate view of everything being cleaner. They loved that community members who passed by waved and honked at them in encouragement.

Number of Bags of Trash Collected: 110

In order to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his message of service, ASLA students and staff picked up litter and cleared invasive plants to help make our community a better place. Dr. King said, “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.”

Albuquerque Sign Language Academy picked up 3 bags of trash along the Boca Negra Canyon trail at the Petroglyph National Monument. Our second group pulled 6 or more trailer loads of invasive Russian Thistle (tumbleweeds) that were taking over the overflow parking lot at the Rio Grande Nature Center.

Number of volunteers: 36

On Saturday, January 3, 2026, the Kewa TRUTH Youth Council demonstrated its commitment to environmental stewardship through the “Keep Kewa Beautiful” initiative. A dedicated team consisting of five youth members and two advisors successfully cleared a 1.41-mile stretch of roadway, beginning at the NM-22 junction in Santo Domingo Pueblo and concluding at the Wa-di trails trailhead.

The cleanup effort was highly productive, resulting in the collection of 13 bags of refuse totaling approximately 125 lbs. This project highlights the council’s ongoing dedication to maintaining the cleanliness and natural beauty of our community lands.
