Safeguarding our nation’s scenic qualities
Reducing the proliferation of billboards and visual blight
Scenic America has helped stop new billboard construction and other blight in hundreds of communities nationwide.
Protecting and promoting scenic byways
Scenic America led the way in Congress to revive the National Scenic Byways Program and to secure funding for our most scenic roadways.
Championing Scenic Communities
From utility undergrounding to tree conservation to responsible development, we help communities protect their unique qualities.
What we’re working on right now
Protecting Trees from Clearcutting for Billboard Visibility
Right now, it’s legal in 35 states for a billboard company to cut down publicly owned trees to improve billboard visibility. Tell Congress that it’s time to change that.
