In 1990, driven by her love for the outdoors, community steward Sue Wiseman took a stand to protect Pennsylvania's natural beauty.

When the horses she and her daughter were riding refused to pass by illegally dumped trash on a nearby trail, Sue was inspired to take action.

She founded PA CleanWays, now known as Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, to address the issue and preserve the environment for future generations.

For 35 years, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful has been at the forefront of community cleanups, sustainability initiatives, and environmental education - all aimed at keeping Pennsylvania clean and beautiful.

Close to 3 million volunteers have since joined Sue's mission to properly dispose of more than 161 thousand pounds of trash and over a 1.2 million tires!
