Chew’s Ridge Lookout needs a new roof! Donate to support urgent maintenance

I’m reaching out on behalf of the Monterey Chapter of the Forest Fire Lookout Association to share a press release about our new fundraising campaign to support urgent maintenance and preservation work at the historic Chews Ridge Fire Lookout on Tassajara Road.

As one of the last active fire detection towers on California’s Central Coast—and a beloved part of local wildfire history—we believe this is a story that will resonate with your audience.

We’d be grateful if you could help us spread the word by sharing the campaign through your networks, newsletters, or social media. Every bit of visibility helps us protect and preserve this important resource. You can view and share the fundraising page here: https://crlo.betterworld.org/campaigns/restore-chews-ridge

Please let me know if you’d like more information, photos, or to speak with a member of our team—we’re happy to provide whatever you need.

With appreciation,
Martha
Monterey Chapter, Forest Fire Lookout Association
