Threats to our lands are increasing every day, from attacks on our country’s landmark environmental laws to potential logging. But supporters like you maintain our vital work to protect our wild landscapes and ecosystems. As we continue to serve as the watchdog of the Los Padres National Forest, safeguarding our wildlife from oil drilling, logging, and other threats, we want to help you safeguard what matters most to you.
October 20 – 26 is National Estate Planning Awareness Week, a time to ensure that your wishes are honored, your loved ones are cared for, and the natural places close to your heart are protected. Through our partnership with FreeWill, you can create or update your will in about 20 minutes, at no cost.
While making your plan, you can designate trusted guardians for children and pets, name someone to make healthcare decisions if you are unable to do so, and make sure treasured personal items are passed on to the right hands.
Since 2004, we’ve worked with hundreds of local, regional, and national organizations to defend the Los Padres National Forest and our region’s public lands. With our thousands of supporters, we are leading the charge to protect and restore the forests, chaparral, grasslands, rivers, wildlife, and wilderness along California’s Central Coast. A legacy gift, no matter the size, will help us continue our vital work in protecting the forest’s delicate habitats and wildlife in the decades to come.
Many supporters choose to include a gift to us in their estate plans, and these thoughtful gifts are greatly appreciated. By joining them, you can help ensure that future generations can hike through old growth forests, spot a California condor soaring overhead, and experience the same outdoor treasures we enjoy today.
Start your free will today and ensure our forests, local wildlife, and communities thrive for generations to come.
