Carbondale Foundation for a Better Environment

Never can tell what you're going to run across when poking among old files. I found these records of meetings of the Carbondale Foundation for a Better Environment on SIUC's website. The organization started off as the Mayor's Beautification Committee in 1968 and gradually morphed into the CFBE about 1970, which influenced the creation of Turley Park, the Green Earth organzation and the designation of C'dale as a Tree City during the early 1980's before going defunct in 1985. The influence of the CFBE can still be seen in Keep Carbondale Beautiful, the Student Environmental Center and the beautification projects of Carbondale Main Street
