It is the smallest of the three major rivers in Ventura County, it flows through the steeply sloped, narrow Ventura Valley, through the broader Ventura River estuary, which extends from the 101 Freeway bridge through to the Pacific Ocean. The Ventura River watershed encompasses 226 square miles consisting of steep mountains and foothills, with altitudes ranging from 6,025 feet to sea level. Valley floors are home to communities and farms. Conditions in much of the watershed remain natural and undeveloped, with 1,964 acres of watershed protected forever by local land conservancies and their supporters; and 51 percent of the watershed is within National Forest lands. About the Ventura River Watershed Council The Ventura River Watershed Council is a stakeholder group for watershed planning in the Ventura River Watershed. It is an open group with active participation by government agencies, water and sanitation districts, environmental and educational non-profits, agricultural organizations, community volunteer groups, as well as engineers, biologists, businesses and private citizens. Watershed coordination—the work of the Watershed Council—is about different agencies, organizations, and community members working collaboratively, across their traditional boundaries or service areas or areas of interest, to acknowledge the larger system that connects them—the watershed. Together these entities identify areas of overlap and opportunities to work together toward common goals, and nudge existing organizational structures towards a more holistic watershed view.
