Los Padres ForestWatch protects wildlife, wilderness, water, and sustainable access throughout the Los Padres National Forest and the Carrizo Plain National Monument. We achieve this through education, advocacy, and when necessary, legal action for the benefit of our communities, climate, and future generations.
With headquarters in Santa Barbara, our work extends across the vast network of public lands along California’s Central Coast. We focus on the Los Padres National Forest and nearby public lands, including the Carrizo Plain National Monument, Hopper Mountain and Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuges, Carrizo Plains Ecological Reserve, and lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management.
