Keep Louisiana Beautiful and Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser invite everyone in every parish to care for their community during Love the Boot Week, April 5-13, 2025. Over 830 events are registered and over 20,000 volunteers are expected to volunteer their time during Louisiana’s largest litter removal beautification event.
“Love the Boot Week is an opportunity for people in every community in our state to gather to clean up litter, but more importantly, it’s a vehicle for promoting awareness and engagement with the goal of litter prevention,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “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. I encourage every person in every parish to pitch in, not just during this important week, but year-round.”
During Love the Boot Week 2024, 19,441 individuals volunteered a total of 100,712 hours at 760 events in all 64 parishes, leading to the removal of 347 tons of litter. In addition to litter removal, volunteers focused on community beautification, planting 921 trees and 4,408 plants, and refurbishing 366 gardens. An even greater impact is expected in 2025.
