Join CFROG community members on Tuesday, February 3rd to tune into the Bureau of Land Management’s hearing on their plans to open public lands in Ventura County and beyond to new oil and gas drilling. More details here!
And if you can’t make it to the office, join the virtual hearing from home and give comment!
The Bureau of Land Management has released a new federal proposal that would open up to 850,000 acres of Central California—including nearly 400,000 acres of public lands, parks, beaches, and wildlife habitat—to oil drilling and fracking. The plan threatens some of the Central Coast’s most treasured landscapes and water sources, from the Sierra Madre Mountains and Montaña de Oro State Park to lands near schools and major waterways.
A public hearing is scheduled for February 3, 2026, for proposed updates to public lands in parts of Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, and Tulare counties managed by the BLM Bakersfield Field Office. Click HERE to register.
