The forest supports conservation education in schools and communities. For example, the forest contributed to the development of displays and materials for the new Pacific Grove Museum traveling exhibit "Bringing the Condors Home: The story of the California Condor and the biologists struggling to save it." The forest also initiated the design of new permanent exhibits at the Santa Barbara Zoological Garden focusing on threatened and endangered species found within Los Padres National Forest and how the public can help protect these species.
Each year since 2006, the Los Padres National Forest has experienced a number of large wildfires. In 2007, the Forest Service and a environmental education/graphic arts specialist worked together to produce a four panel educational display that discusses the many aspects of wildfires.
