Eastern Kentucky PRIDE

Cleaner, safer,
stronger communities

Personal Responsibility In a Desirable Environment

Taking pride in the places we call home

The Kentucky Wildlands is not only home to majestic beauty – it’s home to resilient, dedicated Kentuckians. Since 1997, Eastern Kentucky PRIDE has united the folks who call these mountains home around a shared idea: clean water, litter-free landscapes, and healthy hometowns start with personal responsibility.

From volunteer stream cleanups to environmental education in local schools to helping families with septic systems, PRIDE turns small acts of stewardship into region-wide change — one creek, one household, one community at a time.
