isla vista

Adopt-A-Block is a program of the Isla Vista Recreation and Park District, which focuses on reaching the community members, and gives them an opportunity to participate in maintaining a litter-free Isla Vista . The program is also designed to educate the public about the proper disposal of wastes and recyclables.

Volunteers donate their time each week to help keep the environment of Isla Vista free of trash that could end up cluttering the streets, which drain directly into the ocean. As a community program, Adopt-A-Block has an important goal of minimizing the amount of pollution created by litter and waste. This is an issue of concern due to Isla Vista 's extremely large population of nearly 20,000 people living within one square mile.
