Our nation’s scenic beauty is at risk
Throughout the country, our most cherished scenic resources and hometown assets are being obscured by a blizzard of monstrous billboards, badly sited telecommunications towers, a tangle of overhead lines, and a hodgepodge of visual clutter. Open space is being lost. Our natural and cultural heritage is being buried under unconstrained development and poorly designed transportation systems. America’s beauty and community character are being obliterated by a steel curtain of visual spam.

There are more than 439,000 billboard faces in the U.S.
