About the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy
Mission: To protect and restore the natural landscapes of the Ojai Valley forever.
Your donation supports the protection of open space in the Ojai Valley.
The OVLC is a nonprofit, non-governmental, land protection organization supported by private donations. We work to protect and restore the natural landscapes of the Ojai Valley forever.
In the Ojai Valley, the OVLC manages roughly 2,300 acres of open space—this is an area roughly equal in size to 2/3 of the City of Ojai. Of this, 2,000 acres are open free for public access—this is five times as much land in this area as is managed, for free public access, by the City of Ojai and Ventura County combined. This includes 4.5 of the 16 miles of the Ventura River. On these lands the OVLC maintains 27 miles of trail, guides hundreds of visitors, and hosts tens of thousands of school children, hikers, equestrians, and others each year.
Open space protected by the OVLC is preserved in perpetuity for the benefit of the community. Working with willing landowners on a voluntary basis, land is either protected by its acquisition or through a land conservation agreement.
Our donors make all of this possible. Join today to do your part in protecting Ojai.
