What People Say

Hi, my name is Lucas and I am 9 years old. Los Padres ForestWatch does lots of things, like helping save California condors. They also help stop oil drilling in the Los Padres National Forest because it hurts wildlife. They also organize really good hikes. One time I went on a hike that ForestWatch organized with Congressman Carbajal. It was really fun because he let me talk about the wildlife that lives in the creek in Rattlesnake Canyon on the hike. ForestWatch also helps clean up trash everywhere they go. One time we were looking for fossils in the Los Padres National Forest and we saw a big pile of trash. We stopped and picked up the trash. Also I did my first backpacking trip in the Los Padres National Forest. So it’s important to protect the wildlife so that other families can have the same opportunity as I did. So I really hope everyone can support ForestWatch.
