Dear Mr. Schwartz:

I'm writing to urge you to protect the Los Padres National Forest from the impacts of fracking and oil drilling. Not only is fracking a dangerous, volatile, and especially impactful method of energy production, the proposed site in the Sespe Oil Field is adjacent to the Condor sanctuary and areas where myself, and many others, recreate often - hiking, swimming, and climbing.  I believe there are better ways, and better places to get our energy.

Sincerely,
