OVLC’s campaign is both about saving and restoring the 6,500 acre Rancho Cañada Larga and ensuring the organization has the capacity to steward it—protecting this once-in-a-generation landscape while growing the organization to meet the challenge of maintaining our exemplary level of stewardship across all our preserves while more than tripling OVLC’s land holdings.

Whether you are seeking epic views, wonderful wetlands, the perfect birding spot, or a quiet respite from daily life, our preserves offer visitors plenty of opportunity to connect with nature and explore the real Ojai.

OVLC has decades of experience in habitat restoration. By removing invasive plants (like Arundo) and planting native species, OVLC plans to restore our watershed and reconnect our community to our creeks and river.

Make an impact with a hands-on experience that nature will appreciate. Explore our volunteer opportunities!

As the valley’s land trust, OVLC embraces our role in protecting and restoring the natural landscapes that make the Ojai Valley a special place to live, work, and play.
