Alfredo is also involved in "S.L.O.P.E." (San Luis Outdoor Painters Enterprise)". S.L.O.P.E. is a group of professional artists committed to preserving plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life found in San Luis Obispo County. The organization creates art works which are used to draw public attention to endangered natural lands. They work in cooperation with local and natural conservation groups to raise funds to protect San Luis Obispo County's natural scenery. Several of Alfredo's art pieces are inspired by what he refers to as the unspoiled beauty of the "Central California Kingdom".
