Abstrak: Pemerintah Kabupaten Gorontalo menetapkan Pantai Biluhu yang terletak di daerah Biluhu Timur sebagai salah satu geosite wisata Geopark di Kabupaten Gorontalo. Potensi desa Biluhu sebagai desa wisata butuh dukungan sumber daya manusia yang mampu mendukung dicanangkannya desa tersebut sebagai desa wisata geopark. Karena itu, pembekalan bahasa asing seperti bahasa Inggris dibutuhkan bagi anak-anak dan para remaja desa tersebut untuk mengantisipasi datangnya wisatawan asing ke tempat itu. Di samping itu, hal lain yang perlu diperhatikan adalah kesadaran masyarakat untuk menjaga lingkungan desa mereka untuk tidak menjadi rusak. Persoalan yang selalu muncul di daerah-daerah wisata di Indonesia adalah masalah sanitasi, seperti ketersediaan air besih, ketersediaan jamban, pengolahan air limbah, pembuangan sampah, dan pencemaran tanah. Kebersihan lingkungan daerah wisata seringkali tidak diperhatikan oleh pemerintah terkait dan juga masyarakat, padahal hal ini sangat penting untuk menjaga keberlangsungan desa wisata, yang berakibat langsung pada pendapatan masyarakat. Melalui pengabdian yang diintegrasikan dengan KKN mahasiswa digunakan metode pengajaran Bahasa Inggris, lalu penyuluhan lingkungan dan bersih desa bersama masyarakat.
