ForestWatch and The Boys and Girls Club of Santa Barbara are working together on a new program that connects youth from disadvantaged backgrounds to the Los Padres National Forest. Through a series of educational camping trips, teens visit the most iconic places in the Los Padres, learn outdoor leadership skills, expand their career options, participate in stewardship projects, and gain a more significant understanding of what it means to be an active steward of the environment.
