SPF Beachsweep Program

Coastal Fund COASTAL SERVICE PROGRAM
Get Funds for your Campus Organization!
SPRING 2008

Due to the dense population, high resident turnover rate, and busy student lifestyle in Isla Vista, our beaches and streets are constantly getting trashed. To help keep our community litter-free, campus groups can raise funds by participating in a one of several regular community volunteer days. The program includes beach clean ups and street clean ups along Del Playa Drive. We've now included restoration events with CF partners as a way to enhance our local natural areas.
