Over the approximately 30 years that the Los Osos/Morro Bay Chapter of SWAP (now FEMEF) has been in existence, we have collected a considerable quantity of information about the flora and fauna, ecology, geology, and other natural features of the Elfin Forest. In doing so, we also collected information about similar locations on the Central Coast. The Resource Library is our way of sharing this information.

Oakleaves Archive - Some 90% of FEMEF's newsletter, Oakleaves, is dedicated to news about the El Moro Elfin Forest Natural Area. The first editions were published in 1986. Publication was irregular during most of the fund-raising and establishment period, then bimonthly since mid-1997. After June 2022, issues were published quarterly.
