We are a group dedicated to the spirit of volunteerism in our beautiful San Luis Obispo County, and we are hosted by Pacific Wildlife Care - a non-profit, volunteer organization. We welcome postings for any volunteer organization's event so that we can help make it more successful and for any posting promoting fun exploration of our Central Coast environment.
All people with the desire to donate their time and energy to the environment and wildlife deserve to meet, hang out, and do what they are passionate about doing: helping the environment and all those living in it. If you are a volunteer for an organization, we want to post your events here. If you do not have much time to donate in general, but you do have the desire, then help at these events!
If there are fun things to do around the county, we will meet for those as well! We have a shared passion... we can hike, experience a grunion run, go out for dinner, clean a beach, meet and shop for local vegetables at the Farmer's Market, go bird watching, and enjoy the natural ecological diversity of the Central Coast.

The mission of Pacific Wildlife Care (PWC) is "to rehabilitate and return to the wild, injured and orphaned wildlife, and to educate our community to value and respect wildlife and the environment we share with them."

New Greeting for“Hi there! It's never too early to get kids to experience the awesome wonder of nature! I know that some public schools in the county have gardens for the children to learn to work in, but I dunno if there are any in Paso or not. Maybe you could take a field trip to one of the many nearby farms and let the kids see where local food comes from?”posted by Jeff
