PIEDRA BLANCA VOLUNTEER WEEKJoin LPFA for a backcountry trail maintenance project on the PIEDRA BLANCA TRAIL, JANUARY 16 - 25th! It looks like we have a nice weather window coming up, and what better way to take advantage of it than some time in the forest. This National Recreation Trail is on the short list for most iconic Los Padres Trails. A Wild & Scenic Creek, rolling chaparral hills, ocean vistas, and towering conifers. It really has it all. However, the trail itself needs some serious work. Sign up to volunteer for this project and help restore this quintessential LP trail!We’ll be out there for the week, but volunteers will be able to come for as long as they are able to. Please sign up on our website, lpforest.org, or through the link in our bio. See you out there!#lospadresnationalforest #lpfa_trailvolunteers #sespewilderness #trailstewardship #givebacktotheforest ... See MoreSee Less

STORM DAMAGE UPDATEThe southern Los Padres got quite a bit of rain over the past week, with many gauges showing around 10 inches and some standout spots in the Ojai backcountry reaching 17 inches. Here are the updates we’ve heard regarding road closures:-HIGHWAY 33 - CLOSED at Wheeler Gorge Visitor Center-LOCKWOOD VALLEY RD - CLOSED from Chico Larson Rd to Hwy 33-HAPPY CANYON ROAD - CLOSED at the first gate-FIGUEROA MTN ROAD - CLOSED at the first gateThere’s lots of water flowing right now, with more weather on the way this week. We’re hoping these roads open up quickly, but it’s a good idea to have some alternate plans if you’re heading to these parts of the forest soon! Reach out to INFO@LPForest.org if you need help pivoting for an upcoming trip! And check in with your local Ranger Districts for details and timelines for the closures once they’re available.#lospadresnationalforest #stormdamage #roadclosures #ojaibackcountry #figueroamountain ...
