April has been declared “Keep Rockland Beautiful Month” in Rockland County, recognizing ongoing efforts to keep neighborhoods clean.

Rockland County Chief of Staff John Lyon presented a proclamation at a spring kickoff event with Keep Rockland Beautiful, Inc. (KRB), officially marking the month-long initiative. Over the past year, the group organized about 140 cleanup events, removing litter and debris from roadways, parks, waterways, and neighborhoods across the county.

Officials say the effort has helped maintain a cleaner environment, with volunteers continuing to play a key role.

Residents are invited to take part in cleanup events this weekend in New City. A Route 304 Adopt-A-Road cleanup will take place Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. behind Clarkstown Town Hall, followed by a community cleanup Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the New City Library.
