The Santa Clara River quietly provides water to farms and cities, and critical habitat for rare species. Yet most people are unaware or even know its location as it weaves 26-miles through Ventura County. Trails, access and education are the keys to unlock the River's potential. Jim Danza, Chair of Friends of the Santa Clara River and Professor of Geography and Environmental Science at Oxnard College, will entertain you as you learn about the current plans to engage people with walk/hike/bike trails and education facilities. See how you can help unlock the River's potential, starting steps from REI Oxnard. Jim has been instrumental in bringing collaborative efforts to a multi-agency, multi-city project that will unify Santa Clara River, from Santa Paula to the river mouth at the Pacific Ocean. Free event.
