Description: This year marks the 40th anniversary of the designation of the Dick Smith Wilderness. Located deep in the backcountry of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, this rugged area is ecologically, geologically, and historically fascinating. Learn from local public land experts Jeff Kuyper and Bryant Baker of Los Padres ForestWatch about the unique landscapes of the Dick Smith Wilderness and the history of how it was given its highly protected federal land status.
Bio: Founded in 2004, Los Padres ForestWatch protects wildlife, wilderness, water, and sustainable access throughout the Los Padres National Forest and the Carrizo Plain National Monument. The nonprofit uses a mix of education, advocacy, and when necessary, legal action to ensure that public lands in the region are protected from damaging activities such as oil drilling, logging, and mining. Jeff Kuyper is the organization's Executive Director and one of its original founders. Bryant Baker is the Director of Conservation and Research and has been with the organization since 2016.
