SANTA PAULA CANYON CLEANUP, SEP 19Hi Friends — we’re in search of VOLUNTEERS for a Santa Paula Canyon Cleanup on Saturday, September 19th! It’s been a downright overwhelming season out there this year, and we ~think~ it’s starting to wind down….LPFA is partnering with santapaulacanyon to clean up and cover graffiti between the trailhead and the Punchbowl. We could really use some help with this one and would love to see huge turnout for this canyon we all love and enjoy. Summer’s wrapping up and a potentially wet winter is on the way. Let’s get SPC cleaned up and prepared for the next season!Meet at 0800 at Steckel Park. Details on LPForest.org or through our bio. See you in SPC!#lospadresnationalforest #cleanspc #packitinpackitout #leavenotrace #graffitifreeLP
We had some below average temps across the forest last week. Fog hung on to the coast most of the day and backcountry locales that are usually pushing triple digits in August hung around 80 degrees. LPFA took the opportunity to survey and prepare for some upcoming trail projects this fall. It’s not too often you get a cool coastal breeze in the LP backcountry in August! Did you get out and take advantage of the “cold” spell?#lospadresnationalforest #santabarbarabackcountry #coastalfog #santaynezrange #marinelayer
