Ventura River Estuary cleanup typically takes place every Wednesday, 10 AM to 2 PM.
Starting in 2012, and with assistance from many of our partners, Ventura Land Trust began cleaning up Willoughby Preserve and beyond to maximize environmental and community benefits. Since that time, we have removed over 500 tons of waste from the estuary. Join us in our mission to keep the Ventura River Estuary safe and clean! This work may not be suitable for everyone. We are looking for volunteers age 18+ who are comfortable working in close proximity to homeless individuals and encampments. We do not judge; we seek to educate and compassionately manage a very complex problem in our watershed. For more information, please watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g5hrEnqp4o) and/or contact katie@venturalandtrust.org.
