As a State Military Installation and a member of the community, Camp San Luis Obispo continues to work with its partners on mutually beneficial projects that enhance the training land sustainability and promote environmental stewardship. The relationship with the Morro Bay National Estuary has been a shining example of collaboration in action. From cattle exclusion fencing to reducing sediment delivery into local waterways, the Estuary Program has been a key partner both in terms of targeting constructive projects and leveraging funds. Together we continue to make a positive impact protecting our local resources for future generations.
