Since its inception in 2010, and Amy Derryberry with just one refrigerated truck, this small but mighty non-profit organization has gleaned more than 400,000 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables which it has donated to local schools, senior centers and other organizations that help those in need. Despite all the success, Veggie Rescue needs more refrigerated vans, participating farms and volunteers to expand its outreach throughout Santa Barbara County. That’s why Amy is stepping up the group’s fundraising efforts with a special Farm-To-Table Dinner on August 3 hosted by Solvang’s acclaimed Bacon & Brine Restaurant.

    WESTERN BIRDS Volume 24, Number 4, 1993 BREEDING BIRDS OF FOUR ISOLATED MOUNTAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA JOAN EASTON LENTZ, 433 PimientoLn., Santa Barbara,California 93108 The breedingavifaunas of FigueroaMountain and Big PineMountain in SantaBarbara County and Pine Mountain and Mount Pinos in Venturaand Kern countiesare of great ornithologicalinterest. These four mountains supportislands of coniferousforest separated by otherhabitats at lower elevations. Little information on the birds of the first three has been publishedpreviously. From 1981 to 1993, I, withthe helpof a numberof observers,censused the summer residentbirds of these four mountains,paying particular attentionto the speciesrestricted to highelevations. By comparingthese avifaunaswith each other, as well as with those of the San Gabriel,San Bernardino,and San Jacinto mountains, and the southernSierra Nevada, I hopeto addto currentknowledge of thestatus and distribution of montane birds in southern California. VEGETATIO51AND GEOGRAPHY The patternof vegetationin the surveyareas is typicalof thatfound on manysouthern California mountains. Generally, the south- and west-facing slopesof the mountainsare coveredwith chaparralor pinyon-juniper woodlandalmost to the summits.On the north-facingslopes, however, coolertemperatures and more mesic conditions support coniferous forest, which often reaches far down the mountainsides. Because the climate is arid, few creeksor streamsflow at high elevations,and most water is availablein the form of seepsor smallsprings. BothFigueroa (4528 feet, 1380 m) andBig Pine (6828 feet,2081 m) mountainsare locatedin the San RafaelRange, the southernmostof the CoastRanges (Figure 1, Norrisand Webb 1990). The San RafaelMoun- tainsare borderedby the SierraMadre, a low chaparral-coveredrange, to the northand the CuyamaValley to the northeast.The SisquocRiver drains west from the San Rafael Mountains and Sierra Madre to the Santa Maria River.To the southlies the foothillgrassland of the SantaYnez Valley.

INTRODUCTION This technical memorandum is prepared as part of the hydrogeologic conceptual model (HCM) for the Western and Central Management Areas (WMA and CMA, respectively) Groundwater Sustainability Agencies1 (GSAs) within the larger Santa Ynez River Valley Groundwater Basin (SYRVGB). This technical memorandum focuses on the geologic units within the SYRVGB, and the subsurface geologic model built to visualize those units. The aquifer characteristics of these units are then considered in a separate study which correlates principal aquifers within the basin. This technical memo describes the modeled geologic units and existing literature that identifies the water-bearing tendency of each unit but does not include an in-depth principal aquifer analysis or discussion. The HCM is the conceptual understanding of the physical characteristics related to the regional hydrology, land use, geologic units and structures, groundwater quality, principal groundwater aquifers, and principle aquitards of the WMA and CMA portions of the SYRVGB (basin). Understanding the regional geologic setting and structural configuration is integral to conducting subsequent technical studies of the basin, including presence, absence and correlation of principal aquifers, identification of an appropriate monitoring network, numerical groundwater modeling, and identification of projects and management actions in accordance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). A detailed subsurface three-dimensional model of the geologic units and structures (model) that comprise the basin was developed from publicly available published reports and data sources from the WMA and CMA GSAs.

    Vegetation Descriptions CENTRAL COAST AND MONTANE ECOLOGICAL PROVINCE CALVEG ZONE 6 March 19, 2009 Note: Central California Coast Section (261A) is referred to as the “Coast” Section and Central California Coast Ranges Section (M262A) is referred to as the “Ranges” Section CONIFER FOREST / WOODLAND AB SANTA LUCIA FIR ALLIANCE Santa Lucia Fir (Abies bracteata) is found only in the Santa Lucia Range (Los Padres NF) as a narrow endemic species, usually within 15 miles (24 km) of the coast (Coast Section). This Fir is the dominant conifer in this Alliance but it also occurs as scattered inviduals or clumps of trees within Mixed Conifer – Pine sites. It is most common near the crest of the mountains and towards the north, where it often associates with Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and low-elevation shrubs in droughty summit sites, on rocky slopes or in protected ravines. Slopes are usually steep and less fire-prone than other mixed hardwood areas of the forest; elevation ranges are in the order 2000 – 4600 ft (610 - 1402 m). DF PACIFIC DOUGLAS-FIR ALLIANCE Pacific Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is generally limited to northern, central, and eastern California but occurs in scattered stands south to the Santa Ynez Mountains (Los Padres NF) close to the coast (within the South Coast and Montane Ecological zone). Within this zone, the Alliance has been mapped in four subsections of the Coast Section below about 3300 ft (1010 m). Conifer associates in this area are Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) with Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and Tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus) the main hardwood associates.
