Mayor Ronnie Williams, Jr. is asking the community to take part in a state-wide initiative that has been labeled Love the Boot Week. Cities across the state of Louisiana will be participating in city-wide cleanup efforts during the week of April 18 – 24, 2022.
During a press conference announcing the initiative, Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser stated, “We are going to have to do a little bit at a time and there is no better time to start than right now with Love the Boot Week. I think when we get the state cleaned up, people will be less likely to litter. It affects not only tourism, but also our own quality of life and businesses.”
Natchitoches, let’s collectively do our part in keeping our historic city beautiful. There are two ways you may participate:
- Join some employees of the city of Natchitoches on April 19, 2022, at 9 a.m. in front of the old D&J Tire building (5632 LA-1, 71457) to join in a cleanup
- Register a cleanup of a different location during Love the Boot Week at www.lovetheboot.org
Please be sure to share photos with #LovetheBoot and tag @KeepLouisianaBeautiful. For more information about volunteering for a cleanup, contact Alicia Christophe at achristophe@natchitochesla.gov or 318-357-3838.
