What We Do
With help from our beloved raccoon mascot, Detective Seymore Green and our dedicated volunteers, we educate the citizens of Newton County about environmental problems, impacts, and solutions. We organize, coordinate, and promote volunteer programs that focus on our mission and build greater environmental awareness in Newton County.
Our efforts center around our top four priorities:
1. Litter Prevention
