Everyone,

Yet another position has opened up. See attachments and information below.

I am forwarding this for Kerry Kellogg. Please take a look and pass on to others.

Looks like 2010 is going to be a great productive year.

Thanks

Volunteer Opportunities with the Forest Service and other Agencies

Many members have inquired about volunteer projects being scheduled by the Forest Service. As of this printing, the Santa Barbara and Santa Lucia Districts are putting together schedules, and dates are unconfirmed. There will be a 20 day project at Indian Creek north of Santa Barbara, which will serve to assist in putting the CCC into the wilderness for the completion of work projects. The Santa Lucia District plans to perform work on the Judell Trail.

Both agencies report being affected by the limitations of volunteer efforts. Mainly, volunteers may only have weekend or short term availability, and projects may require 10 or more days commitment. Also, the Wranglers are short on stock and would like to hire an outfitter for certain projects, such as having hired the Inyo National Forest Packer from Bishop in the past.

There are opportunities for non- Wranglers to bring stock and help with Wrangler projects. Those interested would need to sign a volunteer agreement. Contact Lisa Andresen at 453-8629, or lpwranglers@gmail.com

The Volunteer Wilderness Rangers , an interpretive non profit volunteer support group for the National Forest, are a member group of the Los Padres Forest Association. Their efforts are funded in part by three stores, located in Wheeler on Hwy 33, at the Ranger Station on Paradise Road, and in Big Sur. For more information on this group or the LP Forest Assn, go to lpforest.org, or contact as for the Wranglers, above.

County Parks has been awarded $40,000 to build a new trail system on the Barone Ranch on the Gaviota Coast. West Camino Ceilo Trails Council is building a new network of trails after the burn. For more information on the projects, attend the SB County Trails Council Meeting on 3/16/09 , 7 pm at the Main Library in Santa Barbara, or contact Otis Calef.
