Keep Virginia Beautiful has awarded the 16 Frogs Citizens Panel in Blacksburg $1000 for its recycling program as part of the organization’s 30 in 30 Green Grants presented each June.

Sixteen Frogs is a public arts project in which 16 bronze frog statues are placed strategically through the Town of Blacksburg to call attention to the freshwater under and around the streets and buildings. Most are resting above “ghost streams,” and each has a story to tell.

The panel will use the grant funds for design work, screen printing, and packaging of branded, reusable flatware packs and reusable produce bags to promote environmentally healthy habits by reducing the use of disposable products. Every year, government, non-profit, civic, and service organizations in Virginia are invited to apply for 30 in 30 Green Grants.

Grants ranging from $500 to $1,000 are awarded to organizations working to tackle an environmental concern in their community regarding litter prevention, recycling, cigarette litter prevention, and/or community beautification. Since 2011, Keep Virginia Beautiful has provided $254,500 for 320 different environmental programs and projects all across the commonwealth. More information about Blacksburg’s 16 Frogs program is available at https://16frogs.org/.
