Awards

 

Each year the County of Newell offers the Rural Beautification program. In this program residents who own more than a one-acre yard and maintain it in an aesthetically pleasing manner have the opportunity to be recognized for their efforts. 

Thank you to everyone who nominated a yard and participated in this year's program. We're celebrating making the County of Newell a beautiful place to live, one yard at a time.

For more information about this program, check out our Rural Beautification Policy.
