Keep McIntosh Beautiful

06/01/2026

Hello, June! 🌞🌿

Longer days. More adventures. More reasons to keep McIntosh County beautiful.

Whether it’s your neighborhood, favorite boat ramp, park, roadside, or beach stop… every little action counts.

What’s one small thing YOU can do this month?

The parking lot for the playground is now open. Come on out and let the kids play!

Summer means projects, boats, beach trips, yard work, and hauling ALL the things. 🚛☀️

Friendly reminder: unsecured loads create dangerous roads and roadside litter.

Tie it down. Cover it up. Get there safely.

Because your stuff shouldn’t become everybody else’s cleanup project. 😉

Mia and Tracy stopped by the Ida Hilton Library community garden and beautification project today, and let’s just say… it’s thriving. 🌱✨

The three 10x2ft raised garden beds out back are such a fun visual of the growing process—one bed freshly planted with seeds (which now have some sprouts), the next showing those same veggies and flowers already sprouting, and the third full of more mature plants ready to enjoy. We even picked a little basil, a cucumber, and a pepper while we were there (and spotted some baby green bell peppers coming along too!). 🥒🌶️🌿

And the front and side plantings? Absolutely blooming. Native flowers and plants are putting on a show, and the butterflies and bees are happily hard at work. 🦋🐝💛

But one of the very best parts? Seeing the space being used exactly how we hoped. Families enjoying the new picnic tables and benches, someone taking a quiet lunch break under that gorgeous canopy of trees, and the memorial benches tucked beneath the big shade tree offering just the right spot for reflection and peace.

This is exactly what community beautification is all about—creating spaces that are not just prettier, but lived in, loved, and shared. 💚

Memorial Day weekend brought the fun… now let’s love where we live enough to leave it better than we found it. 💚🇺🇸

Whether you picked up after your own crew, grabbed a stray cup at the park, or simply noticed a place that needs some TLC… that matters.

Small steps. Big impact. 🌱

Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

This weekend, take a moment to give back to the places we share by helping create cleaner, greener, more beautiful communities.

🇺🇸💚 As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, McIntosh County has plenty to be proud of!

Two years ago, thanks to the leadership and support of McIntosh County Board of Commissioners Chair Kate Karwacki, McIntosh County became one of the first communities in the country to sign on to Keep America Beautiful’s initiative—a nationwide movement to create cleaner, greener, more beautiful communities ahead of America’s 250th birthday.

And wow… look what our community has accomplished together. 👏

From countless litter pickups along roads, parks, and public spaces…
♻️ Tire amnesty days and recycling events keeping tons of waste out of our environment…
🌳 Tree giveaways and community plantings adding beauty and shade for generations to come…
🏚️ The removal of abandoned buildings that once stood as blight, now transformed into opportunity…
📚 And our most recent Library Beautification Project, creating a welcoming, vibrant space for the whole community to enjoy (if you haven’t seen it yet, go take a look—it’s beautiful!).

None of this happens solo. Keep McIntosh Beautiful may help spark the work, but it takes a village to make real change.

Thank you to the McIntosh County Commissioners, Amwaste, SA Recycling, Sensible Recycling, Georgia Environmental Protection Division, our incredible year-round partners, volunteers, and every Adopt-A-Highway, Park, and Spot group who roll up their sleeves to help us love where we live.

This is what community pride looks like. 🇺🇸💚 Here’s to continuing the momentum as we head toward America’s 250th!

Happy World Bee Day! 🐝💛

Bees may be tiny, but their impact is HUGE—helping pollinate the plants that feed us and keep our world blooming.

Plant something pollinator-friendly, skip harmful pesticides, and help us keep McIntosh buzzing beautiful!🌼
