Red Rock Clean-up

Earlier this week, a stalwart crew of Los Padres ForestWatch volunteers braved high temperatures to help clean the popular Red Rock swimming area along the Santa Ynez River.

Nearly 60 lbs. of trash — much of it broken glass, and discarded bottles and cans — was fished from the river and picked from the riverbank.

Thanks to our volunteers for all their hard work, and to UCSB’s Coastal Fund for supporting Los Padres ForestWatch’s 2014 volunteer projects.

Since 2007, ForestWatch volunteers have removed over 12,000 pounds of microtrash and other trash from the Los Padres National Forest. For more information about ForestWatch’s volunteer projects or to get involved, visit LPFW.org/volunteer.
