Mission
Our mission is to keep Real County beautiful day and night. Our focus is collection of cardboard, aluminum cans, and plastics for recycling, trash cleanups along Highway 83 and 55, trash collection on the Frio and Nueces Rivers, and preservation of the night sky through education on how to limit the effects of lights on our dark skies.

- Each quarter we collected trash along Highways 83 and 55 in Real County. Volunteer numbers ranged from 32 for the 2nd quarter when we had students from the local high school help to earn service hours to as few as 6 for Q3
- We pulled our recycling trailer to the local Food Bank distribution 10 times, (every month except July and August). We collected cardboard, aluminum cans, and plastics and then drove the trailer to the Utopia Texas recycling center.
