Hello,

A grassroots organization known as the Peninsular Ranges Biodiversity
Project (PRBP) has been working toward a cooperative effort with the 
U.S. Forest Service to restore the natural environment in the Cleveland
National Forest located in Southern California.

Join us for a Road-Ripping Good Time! We invite all lovers of the natural
environment to help rip out some roads and begin restoring areas to their
natural state.

The dates of this event are December 5,6 and 7th. We have been granted
permission by the USFS to camp in an area near the restoration site.
The primary work days are Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th. Work will
begin at or close to dawn and continue until dusk each day, rain or shine.

Items to bring: some food, eating utensils, camping gear (sleeping bag,
tent), hat, work gloves, boots shovels and rakes if you got 'em. Camping is
primitive, pit-toilets are nearby.

PRBD will supply a vegetarian meal Friday and Saturday nights, snacks and
water during the day. It's a good idea to bring something special for 
yourself and a container of water as well. Be prepared, cause there
ain't no Taco Bell or McDonalds for quite a distance. This area borders
designated wilderness.

Through a unique cooperative effort, PRBP has worked with the US Forest
Service to close destructive roads in the Cleveland National Forest,
benefitting the Forest by removing sources of erosion, despoil the
watershed and threaten rare species such as the mountain lions, Arroyo
Toads, badgers, golden eagles, and native fish. No experience is 
necessary to help out.

PRBP volunteers and US Forest Service Rangers will work hand in hand to
obliterate and scarify the road beds.  PRBP volunteers will plant native
trees and plants to revegetate the road beds.  
 
If you are a high school student or a Scout in need of community service
hours, this is an excellent opportunity. You are not required to camp
to participate. The area being restored is near the Tenaja/San Mateo
Wilderness area in Riverside County.

PRBP is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to the preservation
of the Greater Santa Ana Mountain Ecosystem. For additional information
