The Los Padres National Forest is California’s second largest national forest, extending nearly 220 miles across the scenic Coast and Transverse Ranges. Rising from the Pacific Ocean to over 8,800 feet in elevation, the forest provides habitat for 468 species of wildlife including the California condor and the southern steelhead.

Unauthorized off-road vehicle use and oil and gas drilling threaten the solitude, ecology, and tranquility of the southern Los Padres National Forest. The good news is that Congress can protect these wild places by passing Wilderness and Wild and Scenic River Legislation.
