Now there's a way
for school and community groups to earn money
while helping to preserve our coastal resources.
Local non-profit groups may volunteer to clean
up a designated beach or creek area, and in
return, the county will award the group $250 and
a special certificate.
The group must
provide a minimum 20 volunteers, and commit a
minimum four hours per campaign day for litter
pick-up and bagging. Volunteers must be at least
10 years of age. If the non-profit is a youth
group, three adult leaders must supervise the
work.
A volunteer group
must submit a refundable $50 deposit to reserve
a park and campaign date, provide proof of
insurance, and complete a letter of
understanding with the county. Santa Barbara
County will provide a program orientation, and
the necessary gloves and litter bags to haul
trash from the site.
Santa Barbara
County's Beach Clean-up program can be a very
rewarding project for your group. Call Richard
Lindley (805) 681-5653 today for more
information about where and how you can make a
difference!
This program is
available March Through November. |
