The Land + Legacy Campaign is nearing the finish line. Thanks to incredible community support, we successfully met the Holm Family’s generous $100,000 matching challenge and are now closing in on our overall $7.5 million goal to protect and restore Rancho Cañada Larga while ensuring OVLC has the long-term capacity to steward a preserve system that will soon more than triple in size. With less than $100,000 left to raise, every gift brings us one step closer to securing this once-in-a-generation conservation opportunity for the Ojai Valley forever.

National Trails Day is a nationwide celebration of the trails that connect us to nature, recreation, and community. Join us for a morning of trail projects, hikes, and stewardship activities throughout the Ojai Valley as we work together to care for the places we all love to explore. In the afternoon, join us at Rancho Cañada Larga for the Volunteer Appreciation Party!

Whether you are seeking epic views, wonderful wetlands, the perfect birding spot, or a quiet respite from daily life, our preserves offer visitors plenty of opportunity to connect with nature and explore the real Ojai.

OVLC has decades of experience in habitat restoration. By removing invasive plants (like Arundo) and planting native species, OVLC plans to restore our watershed and reconnect our community to our creeks and river.

Make an impact with a hands-on experience that nature will appreciate. Explore our volunteer opportunities!

As the valley’s land trust, OVLC embraces our role in protecting and restoring the natural landscapes that make the Ojai Valley a special place to live, work, and play.
