KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The town of Kelseyville has officially earned the “Clean California Community” designation from Caltrans’ Clean CA initiative.
Kelseyville joins more than 30 communities to earn the designation so far across the state.
The Kelseyville Business Association, or KBA, led the effort to acquire the designation.
Over the last 15 months, KBA rallied more than 100 volunteers and neighbors to implement an array of long-term, zero-litter policies in support of litter prevention, beautification and environmental enhancement.
As a result, more than 1,000 pounds of litter have been removed from Kelseyville’s neighborhoods, creekbeds and the highway.
The Clean California Community Designation Program is part of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s $1.2 billion Clean California initiative, which was launched in 2021 by Caltrans to clean up, reclaim, transform and beautify public spaces statewide.
The program was developed in partnership with Caltrans, Keep America Beautiful and Keep California Beautiful.
To earn the Clean California designation, KBA completed at least 10 of 15 criteria to clean up and beautify including organizing volunteer efforts to pick up trash on a regular basis, adopting a section of Highway 29 and encouraging youth through education and participation in an annual art contest and Earth Day celebration.
In recognition of their dedication to a cleaner community, will receive “Clean California Community” signage, educational resources, automatic membership with Keep California Beautiful, and recognition in statewide releases and cross-promotional Clean California materials.
KBA encourages other communities throughout California to join the program and continue to clean up and transform California. For more information about the program and to take the pledge, visit CleanCA.com/Designation.
