Keep Bossier Beautiful (KBB) has announced its new board members
for 2026. Since 1985, KBB’s network of partners, sponsors and volunteers have been on a
mission to end litter, protect the environment and beautify Bossier Parish. The organization
continues to bring value to the parish through projects such as sinking trees for fish habitat, new
trash receptacles at bus stops, and environmental awareness education in Bossier schools. In
2025, KBB received Keep Louisiana Beautiful’s Circle of Excellence Award for the sixth time.
