Information from our allies at CAUSE:
SBCAN is starting this group to protect and enhance the Santa Maria River.
We will work on habitat restoration, water quality improvements, solutions to flooding, enhanced public access and advocating for policies that benefit the Santa Maria River watershed.
Starting in November, we will be planting native plants and restoring habitat in several areas where encampments had been located in the Santa Maria riverbed near Magellan and Seaward Drives in Santa Maria.
We are doing this work in partnership with Channel Islands Restoration and the County of Santa Barbara. We need volunteers to help us.
Santa Barbara County Action Network is forming a new group called Santa Maria Riverkeepers to protect and enhance the Santa Maria River.
We will work on habitat restoration, water quality improvements, solutions to flooding, enhanced public access and advocating for policies that benefit the Santa Maria River watershed.
We hope you will join us.

"I'm excited to share this message from the Fund for Santa Barbara announcing that SBCAN co-executive directors Jeanne Sparks and Ken Hough are this year’s recipients of the Fund’s Founder Award!" said SBCAN co-president Dick Flacks. "It’s wonderful that this intrepid duo gets this recognition for years of dedicated and creative service to the organization and the community.
"If you haven’t yet got your ticket to the Fund’s fabulous Bread and Roses bash on October 6, why don’t you do that and come join us at Santa Barbara City College. You’ll serve the worthy Fund for Santa Barbara cause and join our cheering section for Jeanne and Ken."
The Fund sent an email blast with the following announcement on Sept. 16, 2024:
