What People Say

LPFW is truly a champion for our public lands in Santa Barbara County and beyond. They are focused on protecting these open spaces and take a no-nonsense approach to accomplishing that mission. I’ve had a chance to partner with them on a few projects with a common mission and they are easy to work with, professional, and transparent.
