About MiniNature Reserve

Location:

415 DEODAR AVE, OXNARD, CA 93030, US

Mission Statement

We exist to restore nature in urban environments through landscape projects that engage, educate, and empower the local community.

Description

MiniNature Reserve is based in the fastest-warming county in the United States, Ventura, California which is wholly devoid of green spaces. A majority of its residents are low-income and do not have the privilege of excess time to engage in climate action. In direct response to these conditions, MiniNature Reserve was registered as a Gen Z BIPOC-led grassroots NPO that restores Indigenous plants in urban environments.

What started as a backyard nursery has expanded to a dynamic network of a youth-led Advisory Board, 700+ volunteers, 2,000+ native plants restored across 30,000 square feet of land, and 5,500+ volunteer hours.

Our Supporters:
We are proud to have received support from organizations that align with our values and mission, including:

  • Patagonia
  • The Holdfast Collective
  • Cheetos and Bad Bunny (Deja Tu Huella Fund)
  • Buffalo Exchange
  • The Rose Foundation
  • Village and Wilderness Foundation
  • The Bank of Montreal
