Direct Care Worker

We are seeking those with interest in volunteering with Save Our Mojave! Here’s some detailed background to help you understand the urgency and scope of our project relating to the Eaton Fire’s aftermath in the San Gabriel Mountains: Key Environmental Issues from the Eaton Fire Lead, Asbestos, and Contaminant Exposure Lead Contamination: After wildfires, especially those affecting older infrastructures or areas with past human activity, lead from burned paints, pipes, and debris can contaminate soil and water sources. This poses a major risk not just to wildlife, but also to the broader ecosystem and even nearby communities. Asbestos Hazards: Wildfires that burn structures or old fire roads often release asbestos fibers into the environment. Asbestos can remain in soil and become airborne, creating health threats for animals, forest personnel, and local residents. Other Toxic Contaminants: Fires mobilize a range of hazardous materials—such as PCBs, residual pesticides, and heavy metals—left behind in the landscape. These can flow into waterways or accumulate in vegetation, threatening both aquatic and terrestrial wildlife. Impact on Wildlife and Forestry Wildlife Exposure: Animals inhale or ingest contaminants directly, or are exposed via contaminated food and water sources. Lead poisoning, for example, can be fatal for birds, amphibians, and mammals. Long-term exposure can affect reproductive success and population health. Forestry Recovery: Soil contamination can stunt plant regrowth and affect natural forest regeneration. Healthy forests are vital not only for wildlife habitat, but also for preventing erosion and protecting water quality downstream. Project Goals 1. Documentation Field Surveys: We are organizing efforts to sample soil and water in and around the burn area, as well as record visible impacts on plant and animal life. Evidence Collection: Photos, site observations, and lab data will help paint a clear picture of the scope and severity of contamination. Reporting: Our documentation aims to inform local and federal agencies, inspire conservation action, and create awareness in the public. 2. Wildlife/Fisheries Monitoring Track the health of sensitive species most likely to be impacted by toxins (e.g. amphibians, raptors, small mammals). Work with scientists to analyze trends and identify at-risk populations. 3. Community Outreach and Social Media Advocacy Share Findings: Use social media campaigns to alert the public and policymakers about environmental risks following the fire. Education: Provide factsheets, infographics, and stories that make the scientific findings accessible. Volunteer Spotlights: Highlight on-the-ground efforts and encourage additional community participation. How You Can Help Join field teams for data collection (no experience necessary—training provided). Assist in compiling and organizing data for reports and public release. Help create social media content to educate and mobilize local residents. Connect us with community groups or local media interested in environmental health. We are committed to making a difference—your passion and energy will multiply our impact. Please let us know your interests and skills, and we can find the right way for you to contribute. If you have more questions or want to get involved right away, we’ll send details on our next meeting and field dates!
