Conserving Ventura County Resources

The County spans across the lower portion of the Los Padres National Forest and the Western portion of the Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area, Ventura County is also home to the Channel Islands National Park, including 2 of the 8 Channel Islands!
Ventura County is 17th most important agricultural producing county of the 3,175 counties in the United States, luckily our croplands can withstand the loss of 2 to 5 tons of topsoil per year without losing it’s capacity to sustain crop yields. Produce production ranges from strawberries, oranges, to cilantro, and lettuce.
