Group, as it is known, is made up of artists who paint magnificent, unspoiled open spaces threatened by development. They then sell these art pieces at a special auction with 50 percent of the profits going to organizations in Santa Barbara County<br \/>\nworking to preserve our precious and unfortunately disappearing open, natural, landscape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Huell spends a day with some O.A.K. Group members as they painted in three different spectacular locales, and then attends the auction several months later. The resulting episode of California&#8217;s Green is not only beautiful, bit inspirational as it shows how important a small but dedicated group of<br \/>\npeople who really care can be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Note: This episode was released across Public Broadcasting Service&#8217;s (PBS) affiliated stations in California, but not necessarily on the same day for each station.
