The Santa Clara River: Our Local Treasure
The Santa Clara River flows through Ventura County from its headwaters near Acton, California to the Pacific Ocean. It is one of only two natural river systems remaining in Southern California. The river’s 100 mile journey brings it through areas of many uses and local governments. Threats to the ecological health of the river include urban development, oil spills, stormwater runoff pollution, and channelization. The river supports a great variety of flora and fauna with riparian habitat totaling over 4,000 acres along its entire length. Ron Bottorff, founder of Friends of Santa Clara River will share current issues concerning this vital watershed. |
