Los Padres ForestWatch

Los Padres ForestWatch is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting wildlife and wild places throughout the Los Padres National Forest. Founded in 2004, ForestWatch has safeguarded more than two million acres of public lands along California’s Central Coast, from the famed Big Sur coastline to the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Carrizo Plain, to the rugged backcountry of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties and beyond. We have also organized more than one hundred habitat restoration projects, improving the health of our region’s largest open spaces and the communities that depend on them.

ForestWatch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donation may be tax-deductible. Our tax ID is 20-1531390.
