Call for Photos and November Volunteering with LPFA!

2025 Los Padres Calendar:  CALL FOR PHOTOS!


Hi Friends, 

We’re still looking for photos from Forest users to fill the pages of our annual Los Padres-themed Wall Calendar!Last year’s calendar was a smashing success, help us make this year’s even better. We’re looking for photos of scenery, mountains, valleys, canyons, trails, local flora & fauna, waterfalls, all forms of recreation and activities from across the forest (action shots are great) and anything else that would be awesome to see within a Los Padres calendar. So send us your awesome LP shots by November 3rd for a chance to be featured in this year’s calendar! Check out this post for more details on how to submit your photos. 


We also have the 2025 Los Padres Calendar available for preorder through our website! If you know you’ll be needing one for the LP-lover in your life, go ahead and click that button above. And remember, all funds raised from calendar sales go directly towards maintaining trails in the Los Padres National Forest! A win for you and a win for the Forest….
