Annual Report Fiscal Year 2024

Fiscal Year 2024 (July 2023 - June 2024) was a transformative year for the OVLC, marked by significant land acquisitions and program achievements. These milestones not only expanded our conservation footprint but also strengthened our commitment to preserving the unique natural beauty of the Ojai Valley. 

Land Acquisitions

Riverview Trailhead (44+ acres): This popular trailhead that thanks to the Redemption Church has become an essential asset to the Ojai community, has been a long-term acquisition goal for OVLC. We are thrilled to have finally secured it this year!

Hollingsworth Casita (20+ acres): This property is an important addition to the Ventura River Steelhead Preserve, bringing the total protected acreage east of Santa Ana Road to about 90 acres. The barns on this parcel enhance OVLC’s restoration and stewardship capabilities.

Birdsong Ranch Easement (170 acres): This donated conservation easement protects the stunning Birdsong Ranch from development. Its location and size significantly contribute to the broader conservation efforts along the Ventura River.

As of July 12, we successfully reached our $4.2 million fundraising goal for these three projects! This will enable improvements and funds to manage them over the long term.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
This year, OVLC launched the Rewild Ojai program. Recognizing that climate resilience and biodiversity support is a shared responsibility, this program inspires individuals to transform their yards into native habitats. The launch was a resounding success, highlighted by the Rewild program’s inaugural native garden tour. Nearly 750 participants attended, eager to learn how to support local plants and wildlife in their landscapes. Additionally, OVLC created a garden certification program and thanks to our dedicated volunteers, 27 gardens are now Rewild certified!

OVLC’s Restoration Program has set an ambitious vision to eradicate Arundo donax (giant reed) from the Ventura River watershed. To accomplish this vision, OVLC has secured substantial funding from Cal Fire to take an expansive view of the issue and pursue the federal and state permitting to meet our goal. Thankfully, the Cutting the Green Tape permit streamlining program at the CA Natural Resources Agency is ideally suited to our ambitious vision.

Our All About Ojai series of walks and talks has continued to grow, attracting hundreds of participants eager to learn about Ojai’s wildlife, geology, flora, dark skies, and regional ecology.

The Stewardship program continued working toward building the Broida Bridge at Ojai Meadows Preserve—and we just completed it in July! This was a multi-decade goal and a five-year engineering, permitting, and building process, but now the Ojai Meadows Preserve is connected and accessibility is improved for all. 

Additionally, our field programs had 204 volunteer projects and 5,885 hours this past year. Volunteers helped plant native plants and pull weeds at our restoration sites, clean up the river bottom, and build and maintain trails throughout the valley. Our volunteers make it possible to open this land to the public. Their help is invaluable!

Additionally, we began our planning effort to restore the Parkway Preserve along the Ventura River off of Ventura Avenue. This preserve is currently filled with road base and other construction fill, but with community input, we will reimagine it as a place for natural habitat to flourish and for community members to reconnect with a blocked off portion of the Ventura River. 


Looking Ahead

Fiscal year 2025 is in full swing. We look forward to kicking off the year with the 10th Anniversary of Mountainfilm on Tour. This year and these accomplishments would not have been possible without you. We are committed to building on our successes from this year and continuing our important work into 2025.
