History of Small Wilderness Area Preservation
In 1971, four people with a passion for the wilderness signed the SWAP Articles of Incorporation. They were Emily Polk who had the idea of saving small urban and suburban wilderness areas; Ansel Adams who spent most of his adult life taking majestic photos of the American West; Margaret Owings, founder of Friends of the Sea Otter and defender of the Big Sur wilderness; and Edgar Wayburn, awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999 and said by President Clinton to have “saved more of our wilderness than any other person alive.” Wayburn’s goal was to keep jewels of nature from being paved over or turned into housing tracts. He wrote in his autobiography, “In destroying wilderness we deny ourselves the full extent of what it means to be alive.”
Emily Polk was a conservationist, writer, artist and designer. She lived a rich life filled with adventure and travel. In 1966 she and her husband Ben Polk settled in Los Osos. Between the years of 1966–1980 Ben Polk was a professor of architecture at Cal Poly and Emily Polk founded the Small Wilderness Area Preservation activist group to preserve wild places, beginning with the Elfin Forest in Los Osos.
When Emily Polk contacted Edgar Wayburn with her idea of buying and conserving small pieces of land adjacent to cities and towns, he contacted an attorney who drew up the Articles of Incorporation for SWAP.
The Los Osos / Morro Bay Chapter of Small Wilderness Area Preservation is indebted to all four for their generosity with time and influence.
Ansel Adams died in 1984 at age 82; Margaret Owings died in 1999 at age 85; Emily Polk was 98 when she passed away in 2008; and Edgar Wayburn, age 103, passed on in 2010.

Foundation for Small Wilderness Area
Preservation, Los Osos/Morro Bay Chapter
The Foundation for Small Wilderness Area Preservation (SWAP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation founded in 1971 by Emily Polk, Ansel Adams, Margaret Owings and Edgar Wayburn. Its purpose then, as now, is to provide a mechanism by which people can preserve vitally important natural areas of undeveloped land or small wilderness areas through land acquisition.
The Los Osos/Morro Bay Chapter of Small Wilderness Area Preservation was organized in 1985 for the specific purpose of purchasing and preserving a threatened area of Los Osos known as the Elfin Forest.
Benefits to California State Parks
The first parcel of land in San Luis Obispo County saved by SWAP was the Los Osos Oaks State Reserve purchased by California State Parks in 1971 through the efforts of Emily Polk. The Baptista Ranch on Turri Road and the Griffith Property across Los Osos Creek from the Baptista Ranch were also acquired through the efforts of the Estero Chapter of SWAP (forerunner of the current Los Osos/Morro Bay Chapter) during the 1970s, and turned over to California State Parks.
In 1987, legislation authored by Assemblyman Eric Seastrand provided funding to purchase 51.2 acres of the Elfin Forest as an addition to Morro Bay State Park. SWAP continues its stewardship of the Elfin Forest with liaison with California State Parks and an “Adopt a Park” agreement with San Luis Obispo County Parks that provides for maintenance and control of erosion and native plant restoration.

Downtown SLO, Diablo Canyon and housing
Hello, I’m Charlene Rosales, your director of governmental affairs for the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce, with this month’s legislative update.
This past month, we saw the approval of two concept plans - one for the Downtown and one for Mission Plaza - that were developed with a significant amount of community input and will serve as visionary roadmaps for the heart of our community. We have been tracking the progress on both of these plans over the past year, provided recommendations on several features in each, and are pleased to see the plans have been completed.
The Chamber was also at a recent California Public Utilities Commission hearing to discuss the closure of Diablo Canyon Power Plant. We reiterated our support for the long-term plan which includes resources to help create a more diversified and stable economy, post-closure.
In the coming month, the City of San Luis Obispo will be asking for your input on two issues that are important to the business community, the city’s fiscal health and cannabis.
The first is on Thursday, October 5th from 6-8pm at the Ludwick Center where there will be an informational session on the city’s projected $8.9 million budget gap. Staff will share plans to maintain a balanced budget and potential solutions to address rising pension costs which will climb to approximately $19 million dollars in the next 10 years – more than twice the current figure. This informational session is another step that the city is taking as it has in recent years to reduce its pension obligation, and part of the creation of a comprehensive Fiscal Health Response Plan.
The second is a public forum on the cannabis regulations that are being developed by the City of San Luis Obispo and is tentatively scheduled for the last week in October. The Chamber’s Legislative Action Committee will continue to study these regulations - as well as potential impacts to existing businesses - and will be providing input on how marijuana-related businesses will be regulated and taxed.
And finally, we would like to say, “thank you”, and acknowledge the many volunteers and community members that have answered our calls to action over the years, and in particular, over the last few months, to come together and share how much housing matters to you.
Housing has been a top Chamber priority for decades and this summer, the focus resulted in a tremendous number of individuals and community groups coming together to advocate for more housing. This included Chamber advocates and committee members, volunteers engaged with Dwell Forward, U40, the Economic Vitality Corporation and Home Builders Association of the Central Coast, as well as people that simply want to have the opportunity to live in and contribute to San Luis Obispo.
Just this summer two significant housing proposals – Avila Ranch and San Luis Ranch - received approval by the City Council through a not-so-short process that included:
• 46 city advisory body reviews;
• more than 100 community input sessions, meetings, presentations and neighborhood talks; and
• More than 250 Chamber volunteers shaping our housing policy positions
Because of these efforts, more than 1,300 new homes have been made possible.
While this is certainly not the end of our efforts, there have been significant steps taken and the homes that will be built will allow for more people to be part of the San Luis Obispo community.
We’d like to say, “thank you” to our Chamber members. You are shaping a positive and thoughtful future for our region and our workforce.
Thanks for watching, and please contact us at the Chamber if you have any questions on our legislative work or advocacy.
