About the Program

Category: Children and Youth (Best in Category)

Year: 2014

In the spring 2013, the Keep Henrico Beautiful (KHB) program developed a brand new initiative to debut at the County of Henrico Recreation and Parks’ teen summer programs. The initiative involves a series of puzzles, riddles, and activities that help educate the children on the recycling process specific to our locality and anti-litter programs. Teens in small groups visited each station, set up on tables, throughout the room to solve the mystery of “Who is Littering Henrico County.” Everyone enjoyed themselves while using their creative thinking and learning to be environmental stewards. Each station provided a different way to process the information so that all learning styles were incorporated. Further, all of the materials were laminated so that they may be reused each time, thus creating no waste and keeping costs down.
