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.

Trail & Habitat Restoration Day
Baron Ranch Trail, 14550 Calle Real, Goleta, CA, USPlease join us at Baron Ranch this Sunday, 10/18, from 8 am to 1 pm to help brush the trail and beautify our habitat restoration area in preparation for the Island View Endurance Run! 🌱
We'll clear brush, spread mulch, rake grass, water native plants, and make sure our start/finish line and parking area are ready for runners next weekend. We'll provide all tools, and no experience is necessary!
Please arrive at the gate by 7:45 AM to sign waivers and join a short safety and tool talk. If you have work gloves, bring them along. We’ll also have some available.
What to bring: plenty of water, sunscreen, a hat, and eye protection (sunglasses are fine). Please wear long pants and sturdy shoes. Do not wear sandals or shorts.
DIRECTIONS from the South:
1. Hwy 101 North, 2.4 miles past Refugio Road exit, turn right at the road crossing onto Arroyo Quemada Ln., just past a yellow sign indicating “cross-traffic ahead,” before reaching Tajiguas Landfill. There is no northbound deceleration lane, so anticipate the turnoff.
2. Immediately turn left onto Calle Real and proceed approximately ¾ mile until the road reaches a white gate and a street sign that says “End.”
