About us

The Santa Barbara Outdoor Volunteers group was created to provide local outdoor-oriented people an opportunity to give back to our trails through our trail care projects. Organized by leaders from the Santa Barbara County Trails Council and the Los Padres Forest Association, we coordinate trail volunteer projects throughout the county.
Though the founding members are primarily trail-oriented, the group's purpose is to support all kinds of projects that benefit our local outdoor environment — beach cleanups, habitat restoration projects, open space events — anywhere in the County.
