On Wednesday, November 8, Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful (KMBB) held a news conference to announce it initiative to plant shade trees at three different Bibb County Schools.

Cox Communications donated $10,000 to make this project happen at Ingram-Pye, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Veterans Elementary School. Our Parks and Beautification Department planted the trees at the schools.

“For almost 50 years, KMBB has been improving the quality of life in Macon-Bibb through litter reduction, beautification, and education. The tree planting project at three elementary schools is just an extension of our commitment to our youth and the Bibb County School District,” said KMBB Executive Director Asha Ellen.

KMBB is also planning on educating students on the importance of planting trees.
