ForestWatch is
the only local organization working day after day to protect the entire
Los Padres National Forest - from the Big Sur coast to the Sespe
wildlands. From damage caused by oil drilling, illegal off-road
vehicle abuse, unmanaged livestock grazing, and uncontrolled
development, ForestWatch is here to ensure that our local wild
lands have a voice.
-
We're
local. Our headquarters are right here on the
Central Coast, just ten minutes away from the forest we work
to protect. We live, work, and play here every day, giving
us a unique understanding of the many ways our communities value these
public lands.
-
We're
effective. Our bottom line is simple - every action
we take must result in direct, on-the-ground protection for
our public lands. We focus our work where it counts. We have
a proven track record of achieving meaningful protection.
-
We're
efficient. We operate on a lean budget with low
overhead, so we can direct nearly all of our funds towards our on-the-ground efforts to protect the forest. Our
staff work long hours for little pay, stretching every
dollar to its limit.
-
We tell
it like it is. Our efforts are based on the best
science so that we can focus on what really matters -
protecting the forest.
Our scientific advisory committee ensures that our positions
are supported by hard evidence.
-
We're inclusive. We work with a variety of
folks from all walks of life who share a common goal -
protecting and restoring the forest. By forging alliances
with unconventional allies like local businesses, rural
communities, and
other forest users, we increase our effectiveness
and secure lasting protection for our public lands.
Your membership will have an immediate benefit. We're a small, grassroots
organization with low overhead, a tight budget, and a
local focus.
Your donation will go directly towards our on-the-ground
advocacy efforts, and is critical to ensure our continued
success.
