Help us preserve the natural beauty of the Pocono Mountains!

The pristine scenery of the Poconos region has inspired visitors and residents alike for centuries, and we want future generations to continue to enjoy the beautiful local landscapes and to feel that spark of connection with the environment while experiencing our hills, forests, lakes and rivers…but we need your help!

Over the last seven years, the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau has invested funding, time and resources into a variety of environmental efforts, including biannual Pick Up the Poconos litter clean-up days and the Pocono 3C program and Adopt-A-Highway program, which see participants helping to pick up the streets year-round. Approximately 45,684 bags of litter have been picked up and properly disposed of through Pick Up the Poconos programs and partnerships, and we know that there are many independent, dedicated individuals, groups, organizations and associations throughout the Poconos that have been working hard throughout the years to keep litter at bay. We want to be an advocate, resource and supporter of those efforts as well and to celebrate the sustainable practices of properties and businesses in the area.
