Saved Lands »
The Ojai Valley Land Conservancy has permanently protected over 2,300 acres of open space through direct ownership and conservation agreements. The vast majority of this land is managed for public access through the support of businesses like yours in the Wild About Ojai program. This page shows a map of these open space preserves as well as links to each of the individual preserves where you will find information, trail maps, and directions to trailheads.
Wild About Ojai Agreement »
Each participating business completes an agreement outlining the logistics of the program and specifying how OVLC can best support your business. You can do this agreement online, or by filling out the physical agreement. One copy remains with you and one copy is sent to the OVLC office.
USEFUL RESOURCES
The following information and tools will be helpful in getting your business up and running in the Wild About Ojai program. When your supplies need to be replenished, simply contact Tania Parker to request these materials.

Postcard Size Sign
This sign is the most preferred for small spaces or framed next to the register.
Rackcard Size Sign
Restaurants predominately use this sign to insert in their check covers, but it is available for other uses as well.

Window Cling
This is the best sign to put in your front window or door for customer notification of your participation in the program. It is printed on clear vinyl with the logo pictured below.

Website and Media Descriptions
As a participating business we encourage you to place our Wild About Ojai logo with a link on your website. The Wild About Ojai descriptions below are a collection of short paragraphs you may use for this purpose. Please feel free to adjust the wording to fit your particular needs and use our web address ovlc.org/wildaboutojai/. Additionally, you may contact Tania Parker to assist you with your wording.
Option #1: This business proudly participates in the Wild About Ojai program, a group of businesses committed to the protection and management of open space for public access in the Ojai Valley. As a participating Wild About Ojai business, donations we collect help do just that.
Option #2: Wild About Ojai raises funds for open space protection and management in the Ojai Valley solely through the participating businesses who request a voluntary 1% donation from customers on top of products and services. The Wild About Ojai donations fund acquisitions of open space like the Valley View Preserve, and help offset the costs of managing this property for public use.
Logos
When putting Wild About Ojai on your website, ads, brochures and other media please contact Tania for the needed version of the Wild About Ojai logo.
