Join ForestWatch Executive Director Jeff Kuyper for a presentation highlighting the threats facing our public lands and what we can do to protect them. At this very moment, our region's public lands and wildlife are under attack like never before. New policies from Washington D.C. are unleashing more fossil fuel drilling, more logging, and more mining across these precious, wild landscapes. Environmental protections are being unraveled at a dizzying pace. Park and forest rangers are being fired, offices are being shuttered, and more layoffs are on the horizon. Come hear the latest details, as well as what you can do to engage, mobilize, and speak out for the protection of our region’s wild places. This gathering, hosted by the Ojai Valley Green Coalition, takes place at Sane Living Center, 316 E. Matilija Street in Ojai on Wednesday, June 4 from 5:30 to 7:00pm. Free of charge. Cold non-alcoholic drinks will be available for a donation. Come join in this vital conversation! (fb)

It’s spring and wildlife needs your help. One of the scariest moments for a young animal is learning to cross the road. We are working on a way to help them out. Join us tomorrow for our webinar with Ben Goldfarb author of “Crossings”. Thursday May 22 at noon Register: forestwatch.org/crossings Then help us beta test our new app for recording wildlife crossings in Los Padres Forest and surrounding counties.
