We’re looking for a group of volunteers to help clean up trash at an illegal target shooting site in the Upper Sespe watershed north of Ojai. Most of what we’ll be cleaning up is microtrash, which can be harmful to endangered California condors that frequent the area. Volunteers will meet at 8:30 AM at Nordhoff High School in Ojai before carpooling to the site, which is approximately 30 minutes away. Supplies, water, and snacks will be provided, but hydration packs and sun protection gear are recommended. We will work until around 11:30 AM before heading back to town. Come out and enjoy some incredible scenery while making a positive impact on your forest!

Mission Statement
Los Padres ForestWatch works to protect and restore the natural and cultural heritage of the Los Padres National Forest and other public lands along California's Central Coast through community involvement, scientific collaboration, and legal advocacy.
Description
We are the only organization working to protect the entire Los Padres National Forest - from the Big Sur coast to the Sespe wildlands - and the nearby Carrizo Plain from damage caused by oil drilling, illegal off-road vehicle abuse, unmanaged livestock grazing, logging, and other resource extraction. We conduct on-the-ground restoration projects that improve forest conditions and repair degraded areas; review and comment on projects proposed by public land management agencies to ensure consistency with scientific principles and environmental laws; monitor forest conditions and activities on public lands to reduce or eliminate impacts to forest resources; consult with leading scientists and experts to ensure that public land management agencies are using the best available science; file appeals and, if necessary, lawsuits to compel public land management agencies to comply with our nation's longstanding environmental laws; collaborate with other organizations and citizens committed to forest protection; and increase the public's understanding of the important role that our region's public lands play in maintaining the local economy, quality of life, and environment of our communities.
